Sunday Snapshot "Columbia"

When I first moved to California I told Trevor he HAD to take me panning for gold. 

I just didn't think it was right that I lived in California and had never panned for gold. 

So last weekend we finally made the trip to Columbia.

It used to be a busy town during the gold rush. Now it is a cute little tourist town. 

There is a stage coach, old salon, candy shop, and a bunch of cute little shops.

 

Then we got to the good part... Panning for Gold!!!!

Notice the creepy face in the background.... 

Not sure I actually found real gold but I got some shiny fools gold and some cool looking rocks. 

Then... the instructor informed me I was doing it all wrong. 

So I got a 5 minute lesson on panning the correct way. 

I actually thought it was a little boring doing it the "Correct" way so when he wasn't looking I went back to doing it my way ;)

Sneaky Sneaky

We came home with lots of yummy chocolate! 

(I don't have to fit into a wedding dress anymore so YAY for chocolate!) 

It was a cool day so I also indulged in some yummy hot chocolate with whip cream on top!

We had a great time! And now I'm a real Californian :)
