Today we went up to Sacramento (California’s capital). We visited the capital building, which was really cool. We’re pretty sure Arnold was in his office; there was an armed guard and lots of important-looking people going in and out. We tried to wait around to see if we’d catch a glimpse of him, but no luck.
After the capital building we got lunch at a local diner-ey place. It was called Pancake Circus. It was on a top 50 list of things to do in Sacramento. I love diner food, so I’m really glad we went.
My camera managed to eat the one picture I got of my awesome meal – a belgian pancake topped with tons of whipped cream and a large fruit salad. So freakin’ good.
Bobby got a breakfast-y dish – eggs, hash browns, ham, 2 big pancakes (unpictured), and a biscuit (unpictured).
My dad got the lunch special – a “chicken parmesan” sandwich (which was not what you’d think – it was just chicken and bacon on bread grilled with parm) and sweet potato fries.
I so wish that I had a picture of the waffle – you couldn’t even see it because there was so much whipped cream (which I finished).
Tonight we got Sweet Tomatoes for dinner – my favorite. I’m super stuffed, but happy.
Off to watch 30 Rock with my dad… tonight is his last night 
Happy Tuesday! (Or Monday night, if you’re up late.)

It’s Monday night for me! Haha, it’s only 10:30!
I LOVE diner food, too. Do you watch Triple D? Diners, Drive-ins and Dives? Love that show.
It’s 4AM and I’m awake
I wish I can stay awake to be happy!
Places like that are great after a night of drinking! Oops did I just say that out loud? hehehe
Have you seen Modern Family? Hilarious!!!

I love any restaurant that serves sweet potato fries, and I want to come up to NYC after you move there and take a Sadie class with you.
I have always wanted to go to the capital building…
Glad your had a great time with your dad!
Thank goodness one of you tried the pancakes! Bummer about Arnold, but it sounds like such a fun day!
Pancake Circus looks so kitsch-ey and quaint and like a blast from the past and awesome.
Hope you’re still enjoying the choc chip cookie dough balls
hahahahaahahha I am from sacramento and my parents used to love going to that place after church on Sundays when I was younger! Small world!
Mmm I could go for a big breakfast diner plate right now! What an odd interpretation on chicken parm? haha sounds closer to a club!
It seems like everyone’s making pancakes, or eating them lately! Awesome that you get 30 Rock on Tuesdays.
ohhh…i’m going to be in sacramento the first two weeks of december and wanted to come to san fran for a few days…maybe a meet up!?!?!? either that or copious amounts of suggestions of what to do! i’m free as a bird!
I love, love, love diner food. In high school and college, we lived it up at the diners and I love pancakes and waffles – two of my very favorite foods ever. Glad you had a good meal
fun times with dad! i am just catching up on a million posts, and you are too cute. i am IN LOVE with your boots – where by chance could a girl get a pair of those?
this restaurant looks epic. love it.
