Sacramento Newbies
I’m the holiday person that loves Christmas lights. Which is why I was so surprised to see how elaborate light decorations are throughout the Fab 40’s in East Sacramento.
If you get the chance, grab a dulce de leche latte at Pachamama Cafe in East Sac. Once you have your warm drink in hand, take a stroll through the beautifully decorated houses.
I can guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
