[Los Altos, CA] Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve

I love this hiking preserve so much! 
I have hiked here 5 times already, and will definitely be coming back over and over again!
Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve has everything a simple hiker, like myself, would want.

[Los Altos, CA] Deer Hollow Farm

Hidden in the middle of Rancho San Antonio Open Space is a cute little Historic Ranch called Deer Hollow Farm. This Historic Ranch is 160 years old, and is still up and running. If you are lucky and get there early enough, you may be able to purchase fresh eggs from their many chickens or any fresh product that they grow. I am never early enough to purchase these organic eggs...but one day I hope to be lucky!

[San Jose, CA] Alum Rock Park

It's the year 1890...you are in the mood to yourself to a spa day, and the only Health Spa you want to go to is the Famous Alum Rock Health Spa Retreat. You have heard that the Spa consists of 27 exquisite mineral springs, an indoor pool, a dance pavilion and a gourmet Restaurant, as well as a tea garden! This is definitely a place for you to unwind, relax, and come back renewed. You don't even need to drive, you can take the Alum Rock Steam Train in Downtown San Jose all the way to the spa.

[San Jose, CA] Fuji Sushi (Sushi Restaurant)

"Fuji Sushi is my favorite sushi place," She says.

After a long, grueling five-hour hike, my friend, Bria and I were pretty hungry, and in the mood to reward our hard work on the prestigious climb of East Bay California's highest peak, Mission Peak. So I asked her what she would like to eat, and she wanted sushi, but not at any old sushi place, she wanted Fuji Sushi.

Fuji Sushi is located along Downtown San Jose's busiest intersections (1st St & Santa Clara St). The exterior is quite cute with outdoor seatings. It is actually right next to two restaurants that I frequented in my collage days (Picasso's Tapas and City Bagel), so I am quite surprised that I had never noticed this place before. I also noticed that like most sushi places in the Santa Clara County area, Fuji Sushi is owned by Koreans. Not that that matters because what I had was delicious!

Upon entering we were immediately greeted by a smiling waitress that took us to our table. Like most sushi restaurants, the place was divided into two sections, the bar and the tables. The decor was nice, and the tables were sectioned off with thin walls of bamboo paper covers, giving the diners a sense of intimacy.

[Fremont, CA] Mission Peak

Climbing Mission Peak has become Fremont's Most Popular attraction. It is a 2000+ feet elevation climb to the top. The path is rugged, uneven and mostly uphill with very little shade. The strenuous hike is definitely not for the fainthearted. Besides bringing plenty of water and maybe a snack or two, what you need to bring with you is well-power. I have seen many groups start with an air of joyous excitement to see them turn around in painful defeat. 

[Fremont, CA] Spanish Mission #14: Mission San Jose

Can you believe Mission San Jose originally was made up of 100 adobe structures? Through neglect, natural disasters, and changes with time...this is what the mission looks like today.

[San Jose, CA] The Rosicrucian Park

When it comes to the Rosicrucian Park, most people talk about its famous Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum. Don't get me wrong, the museum is quite magnificent, (I've been there three times), and it deserves its own blogpost for sure, but their backyard is never really mentioned.

So today I want to introduce to you my favorite features the Rosicrucian Park has to offer, and why it is my number one place in my neighborhood.

[San Jose, CA] Municipal Rose Garden

This Rose Garden is goals. This is what I would love to have in my dream backyard or even front yard for all the neighbors to see and envy. With over 4,000 rose shrubs and a beautiful, circular fountain perfectly positioned at the center of a ring of different color roses, the Municipal Rose Garden is one of the most romantic places in the great city of San Jose.
