Summer Silicon Valley Style

It’s June and you know what that means… school is out, beach traffic is in and the kids are home. Now that phrase either makes you smile, cringe with fear or if you are like us – a little of both! We wanted to share a few ideas for summer fun here in Silicon Valley – a few are classics, a few are new. Cheers to making this your best summer yet!

#1: Make It A Memorable Morning. Wait… you mean your kids are NOT morning people?! They want to sleep in! A trip to Cinnaholic will make them jump out of bed before they can even ask where the iPhone charger went. Award-winning Cinnamon rolls (yes as seen on Shark Tank!) have arrived in downtown San Jose. With 20 frosting flavors, over two dozen toppings and hot little wonders that emerge out of the oven every 20 minutes, you don’t have to go in the morning – but why wait all day?

Check out Cinnaholic – San Jose HERE.

Note: Cinnaholic is 100% vegan so you can feel good about the impact to the environment while stuffing your face.

#2: Trade In Amazon For The Library. In addition to the fun of seeing books on shelves that you can check out (no Prime needed), our local public library systems have dozens of events, concerts, magic shows and summer reading programs with prizes happening ALL summer long! It’s good old-fashioned fun and it’s free.

#3: Rock Out. Did you know that Los Gatos has TWO big ways to enjoy music as a family this summer? The 2018 Los Gatos Music In The Park Series is returning to its roots with oversight by the Town itself. The five Sunday concerts run July 8^th through August 5^th, with a mix of musical genres and a family friendly atmosphere. If symphony is more your style, don’t miss the 4^th of July Symphony In The Park at Oak Meadow from 11am-3pm on Independence Day!

Check out the LG Music In The Park Concert Line-Up.

#4: Stop The Slump With STEM Success. This is Silicon Valley so you know we have to include some summer tech fun. iD Tech Camps offers 5 unique summer programs at 4 Bay Area campuses for ages 7-17. Offerings include coding, game design, robotics, social activism and pre-collegiate opportunities. All levels welcome; there is even an all-girls experience called Alexa Café!

#5: Take Taco Tuesday To A Whole New Level. Taco Tuesday has been done… but has it been done ice cream style? This is NOT your childhood choco-taco (ya know, not that that’s a bad thing…); it is SO much more. Located near Santa Clara University where Mission City Creamery used to be, Rocko’s Ice Cream tacos feature a freshly baked waffle taco shell, filled with your favorite ice cream AND dipped in your choice of chocolate or peanut butter dips. Pretend to be a regular and ask for the Grim Reaper (just trust us) or The Founder (espresso lovers only).

Happy Summer!
