So, apparently walking along a trail in Burlingame and watching planes take off from SFO is a thing. Who knew? We recently attended an event at the Marriott in Burlingame. We arrived early and decided to take a walk along the bay. There were many families with chairs set up, people taking a leisurely walk, and the occasional serious runner. As we walked along the trail, my husband told me how his dad used to take him there to watch places take off from SFO. How did I not know this was a thing?

We took a leisurely walk and watched planes take off while also getting a little exercise from the walk. After our walk, we enjoyed lunch at the Flights View Lounge. The food was yummy, and our view of the bay was amazing. We could see the end of the runway from our table, it was fun! If you are local, I highly recommend trying it.

After lunch, we attended an event at the hotel, and I brought in a Midnight Drink from the Starbucks in the hotel lobby. I had never tried this drink before, and I was impressed. I enjoyed it! Yum!

All-in-all it was a relaxing day, and I would walk along the waterfront and watch planes take off again. It was fun! If you are local, I highly recommend it!

Thanks for stopping by!

If you are local to the Bay Area, you already know about San Pedro Square Market. If you aren’t, it is definitely a fun place to visit for lunch! There are multiple booths, like a food court, but they are booths from actual restaurants. This means the food is sit-down restaurant quality and absolutely delicious. Love that!

We recently enjoyed lunch at San Pedro Square Market, and it was really fun because all three of us could eat from a different restaurant at the same table. This meant everyone got exactly what they wanted. Love!! I enjoyed a delicious meal from Anchor’s Seafood which included calamari and shrimp linguini. Yum! It was so good!

In addition to food, San Pedro Square has live music and is adjacent to historical buildings and markers which feature the history of San Jose. It’s always fun to have a little history lesson tied into your lunch.

Hopefully you can visit this fun little spot in San Jose! Thanks for stopping by!

Treating ourselves with food

Sometimes an active vacation needs a slow day! Despite it being spring break, my daughter had a zoom meeting she needed to take mid-afternoon. It also happened I had a meeting around the same time I needed to take, so we decided to take it slow and relax in the hotel room during the mid-afternoon for our meetings.

We explored in the morning by walking around downtown State College and then enjoyed a delicious sushi lunch at Tokyo Sushi and Hibatchi. They have really fresh sushi and good tea, so it has turned into my favorite sushi spot in State College, PA. We took a leisurely sushi lunch and then did some shopping in the shops downtown.

After shopping, we headed back to the hotel to take our meetings and relax. Then, we went back out for a long dinner at The Tavern. I enjoyed their mushroom ravioli, and my daughter enjoyed a chicken dish. The food there is always delicious. I highly recommend it if you are in the State College area!

To wrap up the day, we walked onto the Penn State campus to check out some construction and see the progress. It’s amazing how large schools are constantly under construction! When I was in college, our buildings were old, and while there was talk of new construction, I didn’t actually witness it. Now, there is a ton of new construction on my old college campus! haha

Well, that’s about it! These are two of my favorite State College restaurants, so definitely check them out if you are in the area!
