Slip and slide into gallons of fun at Sacramento's Raging Waters. This water-soaked attraction has just the right size splash for everyone, from taking a tranquil float down the Calypso Cooler Lazy River to catapulting down a slide through nearly five stories of heart-pounding spirals into the depths of the abyss below. Rent cabanas, eat and shop and much more!

Experience romantic fine dining at the Firehouse Restaurant, housed in a historical landmark in Old Sacramento. Impress your date with the seven-course Chateau Boswell Winemaker dinner that begins on the breathtaking courtyard patio and finishes in the authentic underground wine cellar. After dinner, enjoy a stroll on the city's cobbled stone streets.

Find your perfect balance at the Sacramento Ballet. The 800-seat theater hosts star ballet productions from Dracula to Cinderella to the Nutcracker. Besides the spectacular ballets, attendees can join in on events like "Inside the Directors Studio" for a behind the scenes look at upcoming productions.

Waltz on over to the Strauss Festival of Elk Grove. Sit on the grassy knoll near the river's edge and enjoy the beautifully costumed waltz and polka dancers perform to symphonic sounds of the 32-piece Johann Strauss Jr. and family orchestra. The annual event draws an audience of 30,000, so call ahead and reserve your spot on the lawn.
