Want to take a day trip near Sacramento, CA?

Q: My bf and I are looking to get away after he gets off work Monday @4pm and be back in time to go to work Thursday @5am. He was thinking a day trip through yosemite since neither have been there. But... I want to use both days, and lodging is super expensive, if you can get it. Alternatives?

A: You could explore the Sierra foothills and find reasonable places to stay. If you enjoy wine tasting, there are some great wineries where wine tasting is usually free located in Amador, Calaveras, El Dorado, and Nevada Counties. For info on wine tasting in the Sierra Foothills go to http://www.cheers2wine.com/Sierra-Foothills.html You will find lots of other things to do as well. Exploring caves, mine tours, browsing historic little towns, and more. I recently went wine tasting in Amador County and stayed at Days Inn in Sutter Creek. It was inexpensive and quite nice.
