Whether you live here, are visiting, or are considering the Tri-Valley as your new home, there is one thing you can count on: there are plenty of ways to rejuvenate in a weekend. Trust me, I know.
Here are the first five that come to mind:
Wine tasting. This one’s a no-brainer. When you’re so close …
If you’re looking for some harvest fun this weekend, then the epic Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin Festival will definitely quench your seasonal appetite for pumpkins and fun.
The signature attraction is the Safeway World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off
with World Record Mega-Prize. The top five winners will be on display in all their enormous glory for …
Grab your running shoes, a buddy and all your extra energy. There’s still time to sign up for Primo’s Run for Education, slated for Oct. 9 in San Ramon.
Primo’s Run features a 5K in two categories: one that is timed for more serious runners, and one that is a fun run/walk. And for those who …
After five consecutive months of rising inventory of single family detached homes in Livermore, the number of homes for sale declined in November. Inventory typically declines this time of year, so no surprise here. Pending sales remained strong, although off their highs for the year.
Overall, inventory increased by22 homes, or 9% from September …
The arroyos are creek beds that crisscross Pleasanton and include some of the best places in town to go for a walk. They are accessible all over town where streets cross over them. Just walk through the openings in the fence made for pedestrians. The city has created finished trails along almost …
The city of Dublin’s website describes this trail as “one of Dublin’s little know treasures” and they got that right. Less than a mile long, the Martin Creek Canyon Trail follows Martin Creek, as you might expect. What you might not expect is how beautiful it is.
Beginning at the corner of …
A week or so ago, I posted an entry here about The Dublin Hills Regional Park, leaving from the main staging area just off Dublin Boulevard. But my favorite part of the park is the Donlon Loop Trail. This trail is more secluded than the Calaveras Ridge Trail, and there is more wildlife.
The …
Everybody in Dublin was Irish, at least for the weekend, as the city held its annual St. Patrick’s Day Festival. The festival was held this past Saturday and Sunday and was a celebration of all things green, and this popular event has become a tradition.

Canine citizens of the San Ramon Valley have it really good. Not only do they live in a beautiful part of Northern California, the towns of the Tri-Valley also have everything to cater to their every need.
Since it’s important to keep the body tuned for our athletic passions, many people join a gym. And when you have an active family, one in particular stands out. ClubSport of San Ramon is one of the few fitness centers serving San Ramon/Danville/Blackhawk/Alamo that caters to the entire family.
After the non-stop feasting I enjoyed during the holidays (I don’t want to see another piece of pumpkin pie EVER), I decided to visit one of my favorite places to hike in Pleasanton… the Pleasanton Sports Park. It’s a huge park with a great walking trail, baseball, soccer and football fields, a volleyball court, …
Augustin Bernal Park at the Pleasanton Ridge offers spectacular scenery and stunning views of the valley. It seems a world away, but is easily accessible off Foothill Road. With miles of hiking and mountain biking trails, it is a perfect place to go to escape the hustle and bustle of suburbia.
