Justin and I got a rare weekday, date night last week, for the kick off of Quattro Four Seasons Palo Alto Après Ski outdoor dining experience and special holiday season menu.

Family Fun at California’s Great America

Thanks to California's Great America and my partnership with them, they sent us park passes for the whole family, fast passes so we could breeze through and not ... Read more...
