Sunrise on the Sacramento

This week I had the fortune of traveling to Sacramento for the Unified Wine & Grape Symposium.  I spent most of my time networking and enjoying the various events, but I did get outside with my camera twice.

One morning on the way to breakfast, the sun was rising over the city and the Sacramento River.  We stayed on a historic river boat called the Delta King.  From 1927 to 1940 the steam boat ran from Sacramento to San Francisco through the San Joaquin River Delta.  After Pearl Harbor, the Delta King and its sister ship the Delta Queen, were in Navy service as hospital transports.  Since then the Delta King sank a couple times and starred in a movie.  It’s been a hotel in old Sacramento since 1989.

We had a wonderful experience despite the charm of slanted floors.  The views and the service were lovely.
