Aloha Festival!!!

PICA's Aloha Festival lets you literally get a taste of the islands until you get over there, no airplane required!

The 2 day event is being held at the San Mateo Event Center on August 1 and 2 from 10am to 5pm. http://www.whatshappeningcalendar.com/events/NorthernCalifornia/San_Mateo_Aloha_Festival.html

There will be lots of entertainment, food, drinks, music and more. Bring sunscreen, blankets (can get chilly at night) and enjoy yourself!

Paella Kick

We’ve been on a Paella Kick and wanting to explore all the restaurants that serve paella, and came across Mancora, in San Mateo.

It is such an interesting restaurant (next to a hotel) and you would never notice there is a restaurant right next to it.

We were surprisingly impressed with the food. Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful.

Thank you Mancora for fulfilling our Paella Kick!

San Francisco Dining Cruises

Ahhh, there is lots in life to celebrate and one of the places to celebrate is with Hornblower https://www.hornblower.com/port/category/sf+diningcruises

We were there recently and had a wonderful time! There was all you can eat buffet, open bar, cruising around the bay with amazing view and dramatic San Francisco skyline.

Best part of all, there is dancing to the latest top 50 music.

What more can you ask?

There will be fireworks in the evening and it is going to be beautiful!

If you prefer, you can also get on the cruise boat and tour around the Bay and watch beautiful fireworks.

Other popular activities on this day include biking around the city, wine tasting tours, free walking tours at SF Public Library's free walking tours in the morning or afternoon.

So many choices and it’s not going to be easy to picket one!
