A real magic theatre, owned and run by professional magicians, what a great evening! Sitting at cafe tables, eating a terrific meal while magicans came to our table, then topped off with a headliner visiting magician up on the small stage, the most fun evening and highly recommended!

A throwback music club that serves up eclectic ambiance, amazing music along with beer and wine. Roy the owner works the bar and the mic and no matter the genre your toes will be tapping before you finish your first drink. No cover for the 4:30 show on Friday's, 15 bucks for most regular shows. If you love music in an intimate venue, you will love Armando's.

This is our favorite trail in Contra Costa County. The drive to trailhead is very scenic, however there is limited parking at trail head. The trail is paved and is great for biking, hiking, dog walking, jogging and enjoying the beautiful scenery including the occasional ships and trains below. No restrooms.

We enjoyed a very nice drive along the Carquinez Strait Regional Shoreline. This is a very fun area to explore and is off the beaten track. There are interesting older towns such as Port Costa, which was founded in 1883. There is a place to eat there. There are numerous places to take a hike Its a good place to also see wildlife and birds.

Massive fan of John Muir, so diverted here to see where the wonderful man spent a good portion of his life. It was an honour to look around, hear stories and meet astounding rangers. The nicest Rangers we encountered on our 6 week national park tour.

Work in progress by the city for more facilities near the entrance. Less crowded, trails along the shoreline, kites flying on sunny windy days, tons of wild birds, dock was redone nicely.
