Visited Skyzone trampoline Park in Elk Grove on a Sunday afternoon. Unfortunately, the climbing wall was closed. I give it 3/5 stars. Felt a little under staffed and Other parks have more amenities. Got in on a Groupon, so you can check them out for a discount.

65 degrees felt more like 75 at Salmon Creek Beach just north of Bodega Bay. Just over 2 hours from Sacramento, you can make it a little easier by taking a break at the one hour mark in Sonoma. Check out the interpretive gardens at the Cornerstone or try out Train Town if you have really little kids. Lunch was at the Boat House in Bodega Bay next to Candy and Kites.
