We were in town for a college visit and stopped in at this museum one morning. My teen enjoyed seeing some of the relics and we both learned a lot about Intel's history.

We had a great time at Great America (we are from SoCal so we have a great frame of reference for this park). Not crowded at all on a Friday. The roller coasters are fun, with Gold Striker and Railblazer being among the best. All you can eat dining plan worked out well too, although the food choices seemed limited with most places serving the same things. However, there was a Subway and a Panda Express included in the plan which is nice. Beware of you have nut allergies; the park's website says that Panda Express uses peanut oil. Several rides broke down during the day with some of them closing as a result. Wish we would have known that the water park is included in the admiasion; we would have brought our swimsuits as well! Not as much attention paid to he details as some other theme parks, but I really appreciated the water, soap and dryer all together in the bathrooms! Overall we really had a good time at Great America and would definitely go back!

We arrived for our Trade Show and found that our booth was missing due to a snafu with UPS. We were a little anxious and after much negotiation, was able to get the booth located and sent to us with only a half hour to put together. The staff at Tricord was amazing in getting us all we needed as soon as we needed it. The Convention center was so accessible from the Hyatt and made it easy to be available when needed. Thumbs up.

We had great seats at the Redbox College Bowl Game played on December 30th at Levi's Stadium, They won over Big Ten College Football University Illinois. We had comfortable seating. There was a miliary flly over before the game. There were bands from each university. Oski the Cal Bear Mascot was there. There were also cheerleaders and yell leaders from each school. The score board at Levi's Stadium is fun to watch. They did various games on it during the football game. There is a variety of snack bar options at Levi's Stadium. i wish they would add some healthy options though like salad cafes; Greek Yogurt, and others. We walked to the game so we did not pay for parking. There is parking around the stadium. We also watched the Redbox Award Ceremony at the end of the game.
