We highly recommend their mountainous sausage and egg sandwich for breakfast. If dining in the afternoon/evening, order a side of shoe-string, rosemary fries with your meal. You will not regret it.

This is the ONLY place you need to go to get ice cream. Salt and Straw can be overrated, but this place is where it's at for ice cream eating! We will likely see you there (they know us by name). ;)

Wings are a MUST. Everything else you eat, share and devour. Try and eat slowly to appreciate all of the flavors, but it's a feat.

This place is perfect for sweet and savory waffles for breakfast and lunch. Want to sleep in your own bed and have food delivered? UberEATS delivers! The "Goat in Headlight" is Dori's favorite. If there's a line during weekend brunch, don't worry, people tend to eat and leave on their daily adventures. There is plenty of things to keep young kids busy while your food is being cooked.

Entertainment & Activities

Check out the new elephant enclosure and the classrooms nearest the tiger exhibit. We are always impressed with the focus of conservation this zoo has. Buy some tickets for summer zoo concerts in the summer months as well, but come early to beat the crowds.

Essentials

We truly try to avoid Safeway if we can because they got rid of their self-check outs. If you have some time, they have amazingly fresh produce and meat selection.
