A weekend off in Jackson Ca.
We had a rare weekend off recently and took time to go to Preston Castle (previous post) to finally get some long awaited shots. It was the last weekend they were doing their tours before they shut it down for the winter…so glad we took the time. Afterwards we headed into Jackson for some lunch and found they were having a big street fair.
Family pictures coming up next ( Mark’s mom came for a visit from FLA ) then some weddings and an engagement session after that so stay tuned~

I love the ride up to Jackson — and what a quaint little place. Used to have friends who had a guest cottage in the mountains above there! I didn’t realize how much Chinese influence there is there…
@slmret - there was alot of chinese influence in the gold rush as well as the railroad. It was an awesome display.
@MJ10554 - no it isnt a ghost town but when they put in a new bypass freeway in the area it caused alot of traffic to drive right by them. Some feel it was a blessing and some feel it will kill their town.
@christineguthrie - It was a great weekend. Been a while since we have been able to just rest. We werent expecting to come upon a Harvest Festival just some lunch and to visit a friend photog who has a studio on the Main St.
@lydellphoto - Of course — I guess I just never connected that the Chinese weren’t only in the cities!
Those are way cool photos!! Love them!!
what neat pics!! I LOVE JACKSON!!! we met MY Mark’s brother there a couple of yrs ago…. quaint little town..
and yes it’s quite little compaired to where I live now.. 
@Shutterbugd - Did you check out all the other little towns as well? We have a timeshare in Angels Camp and travel through alot of these towns. They are quaint! Lots of antique shops and old fashioned candy stores, etc. Just alot of fun.
@lydellphoto - oooh yea… been all up through there… I IS CA bornd and raised..
LOL and not too awful far from dem places… :spinning: it’s funner to visit them with females though… hubby’s don’t like to spend hours in one store… at least mine doesn’t… :fun:
Looks like you had a blast. I’m so glad you had a weekend off to spend some quality time together!!!! And I love your new logo. Can’t wait to see what Mom creates with her calligraphy! Miss you! :heartbeat: :heartbeat: :heartbeat: ~ Dawn
