Hidden Sunday Champagne buffet gem in Redwood Shore

The drive to Sofitel is unexpectedly surprising. As we were driving on Ralston, we see all these well structured office buildings, and all of sudden, we see water, nature and the beautiful Sofitel!




It's a great place to visit on Sundays as they have bottomless mimosa, all your can enjoy oysters, crab legs, tender chicken breasts, macaroon for dessert and much more. In the addition, the view is absolutely gorgeous!!

Bicycle Sunday on Canada Road

This is one of our favorite places, especially on Sundays!


For those of you who have not been to Cañada Road, you must MUST go! https://parks.smcgov.org/bicycle-sunday

The beauty of living in the Bay Area is that our "hibernation" period exists for few months in any year.  During this time, we deprive ourselves from the nature and desperately wanting to satisfy that inner desire of  being in the outdoor. Now that summer is right around the corner, it is time to get out and get some sun, and Cañada Road is the perfect place to do so!


Cañada Road  is closed between the Filoli entrance and Highway 92 on Sundays, allowing for non-motorized activities including jogging, bicycling, hiking, roller-skating, and walking. And it sure is a beautiful to enjoy the nature!! We consider this place a gem of loops!!

Show Girls in Redwood City? Elvis Presley in Redwood City? Drag Show in Redwood City?

Yes, you heard us, you can find ALL these in our backyard at Angelica!! http://angelicasllc.com/



Angelica is a restaurant/bar/stage show when you have a most wonderful evening! (or brunch, or lunch).



We were super thrilled when we discovered Angelica! They have great food and great shows!

The night we were there we started with Macadamia and baked brie-it was warm, lots of different texture and super delicious!



Steamed clams with white wine, herb-lemon butter was juicy, fresh and made our palate super happy!
Angus Beef Slider with caramelized onions & cheddar cheese was cheesy and satisfying!
Braised short ribs was tender, flavorful, and unforgettable!


The show was entertaining, thought provoking and surely will be one of our most fun date nights!

Being Picasso for the night with a glass of champagne

We were feeling creative so we decided to stop at Create, Mix and  Mingle in San Mateo.

It’s an art studio where it’s catered to both adults and children. We joined the "Paint & Sip" adult studio, where wine, beer and snacks are available for purchase. There was a professional art instructor who guided us step by step to recreate a featured painting.



We got to meet different people, sipped wine while we paint, and competed with each other to see who is a better artist. It was truly a fun event!
