We visied Jamison-Brown House in Santa Clara. It is by the Triton Museum of Art. This i one of the oldest homes in Santa Clara. It is a colonial house from 1866. It has hard wood floors. There is a nice covered outdoor patio area. It is used today as an event center for such things as weddings. There is a redwood grove nearby.

This is a beautiful and well-maintained California mission church on the serene Santa Clara University campus. It has a very active parish and the masses are traditional with great music - especially the student mass Sunday night that pulls from the talent of the student body. You can't drive up to the church anymore, so park in the neighborhood and stroll through the campus.

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.

We are a Wine and Art Studio where people come to have fun and paint, sip on complementary wine under gentle guidance of experience art instructors. After three hours of painting every single participant walks out with their own masterpiece. Fun night out, date night, something new to experience when in town.
