1. Mount Diablo State Park

Offers vast views from its summit.
Reviewed By WIJourney - Madison, WI
We made the trip out to Mount Diablo because we were told it offered some spectacular views from its 3900 foot summit. It was a picturesque drive that was only challenged by the numerous bicyclists (we were there on a Sunday afternoon). From what we could gather, the bike riders have a full-lane right-of-way both up and down the mountain. If you happen to cross over the center line when overtaking a cyclist going up hill when a rider is coming down the hill, prepare yourself for vocal abuse from the downhill rider. The view from the summit is quite stunning but be prepared to have the view of San Francisco/Golden Gate Bridge to be hazy at best unless you are there early in the morning.
2. Blackhawk Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 266 reviews
Since opening in August 1988, the Blackhawk Museum has displayed classic automobiles and myriad exhibitions exemplifying art, technology and history. Local students, residents and international visitors enjoy educational presentations, cultural programs and volunteer opportunities. Since the beginning it has been home to the Automotive Gallery with over 55 vintage, classic, rare and sports automobiles on display. These automobiles are regarded as works of art and range from the dawn of the motoring age through the 1960's. In 2015, a new exhibition, The Spirit of the Old West opened, telling the story of the western frontier from the perspective of both the Native Americans and the settlers before, during and after the expansion west. The exhibition features authentic artifacts from the period, a large diorama depicting key historic moments, scenes of wildlife from the frontier and other elements that bring the past to life.

This happened to be the last item on our list of places to visit while staying at Danville, CA. The western display was awesome. And the antique display look terrific, but we didn't have enough time. It will be near the top of our list on our next visit to the area.

One of the visitors centers was closed for construction, the other one was cute but super small. The walk to the cemetery was long. Off to the mine for the tour. Little table for the kids to do some activity books to become Jr rangers. The mine tour was under construction (would have been nice to know in advance) so we geared up with hard hats and flashlights to walk about 50 yards in to cave, then turn around and head back out....a little disappointing.

This is easy. I first came into a See's on my own in 1956. I was looking for a gift for a girl friend. I'd been in there with my Mother on a few occasions before but this was my first time solo. What impressed me most was the service they will package your choices as you like. They always give you a freeby
The first Sees I, California. went to was in Alameda I've been in many since and they are consistently good!
I send Chocolates to my By brother in Verplankt, NY, if I miss an occasion , he reminds me
I've been at Pleasant Hill, which has it's own See's since 1997 Every bit as good
6. Small World Park

A few years ago, Small World Park hosted a community barbecue as well as invited paramedics, the police department, swat teams, and disaster relief organizations to provide safety information and share the many duties each organization performs on a daily basis. They also have a train you can ride around the entire park. My son was fascinated with the swat team. He was able to meet the captain, shook his hand, and put on the teams riot gear including the hand held shield. They also gave the children stickers that look like badges. The food was free as well as the park rides. My son was 10 years old at the time and was almost a little to big for the rides. I would recommend children under the age of 10 to get on the rides at this park. However, there is a jungle gym in the main park and plenty of room for a child 10 and over to enjoy. We had a great time and I think you will too. It was $6 entrance fee for 15 years and up. $3 for children 14 years and under, and Seniors 55 years and older. My son is 13 years old now and we visited the park in 2014 but, I couldn't put the actual date because the program selection didn't go back that far.

The place has gone through lots of renovations and upgrades. The latest is the best with signs and lights. They have farmers market every week, some small concerts, and there's lots of lawn for kids to play around. They have fenced the area in now that kids don't wonder off too easily. It's located in the center of Concord surrounded by many restaurants, stores, fire station, banks, movie theater, hotels and residential areas. It is a place with diverse amount of people come to visit or go to. At night they light the trees and make the place a warm place to go. Nearby is BART station walking distance away. Bus is also available and taxi cabs as well.

Great tour and a beautiful day in the Napa and Sonoma. Our driver Bogdan was terrific, turned out to be very attentive, knowledgable and determined that we all had an enjoyable experience. He called us few days prior to the tour, made suggestions and was open to anything we wanted to do. The car was a brand new luxurious Mercedes SUV with three seats rows and plenty of space.
I would recommend the guy for a great carefree day in Wine Country to my family and friends. By the way, he even speaks German!
9. Pittsburg Delta View Golf Course

This public 18-hole, par 72 course stretches 6,330 yards from the championship tees with a U.S.G.A. rating of 71.40 and slope of 130.
Reviewed By fiddle_man - Eugene, Or
As an intermediate golfer I found this course difficult with a huge number of lost balls, sloped narrow fairways, lots of brown ugly areas, dry water features, and very windy. You really need to play this course several times to know how to avoid problems. There is a drought here so that's part of what's going on. The greens are unpredictable and often slow as others have remarked. Would not come back.
