Things To Do
Philz Coffee
Our favorite coffee shop! its different than most but a fun experience! Paul's favorite drink is a Greater Alarm light/light and Sarah's is a Dancing Water sweet and creamy!
Downtown Campbell
Downtown Campbell has tons of great options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner plus some fun bookstores and shops to wander through after! Two of our favorite restaurants are Guapos: a street taco place with great margaritas, and Brown Chicken Brown Cow, a burger place hidden right in the middle of downtown! If you are hanging around after our wedding, the Campbell farmers market on Sunday mornings is the perfect place to go for some fresh produce and great food and music! The farmers market is in downtown Campbell from 9am-1pm every Sunday.
Vasona Lake County Park
a HUGE park, perfect for an afternoon walk or day at the park. The lake has paddle boards and kayaks for rent so you can cool off! Located right next to downtown Los Gatos so you can grab some lunch
Burger Lounge
Our favorite go-to burger place! Burger lounge is located in the Pruneyard which also has tons of other dining options, bars, and a movie theater. Also, check out Rock Bottom Brewery for some more great food and drinks.
Santa Cruz/Capitola
Santa Cruz is a 30-45 minute drive through the beautiful Santa Cruz mountains to the costal town of Santa Cruz. There you can find many activities from the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk amusement park on the beach to hiking through Henry Cowell Redwood state park there are plenty of things to explore! Check out Capitola village for some great restaurants with a view of the ocean! Our favorite restaurant to visit is Zelda's.
Monterey
If you have a little more time on your hands Monterey is a little farther but well worth the drive. With fisherman's wharf providing the best clam chowder you'll ever have (not to mention some great shopping), to the Monterey bay aquarium, to bike and walking trails along the beautiful coast, Monterey has everything you will need for an amazing day out. The best restaurant in town is Mission Ranch but be sure to get there early to get a seat! (mission ranch is also where Paul took Sarah for dinner before getting engaged!)
San Francisco
Of course there is iconic San Francisco. About an hour away, San Francisco has some of the most recognized views and greatest shopping and dining around. A great place to visit for a day out!
