We enjoyed an after lunch stroll down Main Street in Old Town Pleasanton. The preservation of architecture is refreshing to see. The brick buildings are beautiful. There are many lovely shops to browse in as well as an art gallery. Plenty of coffee shops and restaurants to choose from as well. Highly recommended.

We attended a wedding at the palm event center. The venue was gorgeous. The Ceremony was held in the barrel room and then the reception was in the large room. The wedding had family style food that was delicious. The lounge was also a cool space to hang out before and during the wedding.
