Wonderful redwoods. These are third growth Redwoods but they are still majestic! There were once huge redwoods bigger than Muir Woods here in Oakland. Nice play park for kids too. Great spot for picnics.

A little farther from the house but worth the trip for the stream train that usually runs on the weekends and I think year round in the summer. It goes through the forest and there are cute miniature "towns". Great during sunset. Kids love it but I would go without kids too!

Nice Italian restaurant with some interesting foodie options. Good wine. Nice outdoor seating. Can be packed on weekends. So close to the house! My favorite close by restaurant.

This is a bit far from the house but I am listing it because it was great with a small child due to their enclosed sandbox so adults can eat and drink while the kiddies play.

Drinks & Nightlife
This is more like a biergarten with a big selection of beer and some wine. Great outdoor seating with a view of the Lake. You can bring kids. The food is pretty good too. Sometimes there are DJs.

Penrose
3311 Grand AveAmazing cocktails and food! Probably the best place on Grand Ave.
Arts & Culture
We would go here Friday nights for the Food Trucks and the music. Plus, the museum is open late and half price. Great museum--much better than expected! Get food from the Food Trucks then have a picnic in their courtyard. If you have kids they will love to run around.
