Cute little main street downtown. Lots of shops, boutiques, places to eat, and stuff to see. Don't miss Placerville Hardware, one of Robert's favorites!
A real gold mine from the Gold Rush days. There is a mining museum, historic Stamp Mill, working Blacksmith Shop, and you can go panning for your own gems!
About 45 minutes away, spend some time in the CA capitol.
About an hour away, a beautiful place to hike, see the lake, and spend time in nature.
