Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , — admin @ 6:36 pm

Hey Sacramento, if you are not heading to Folsom Lake this weekend, you should check out Gold Rush Days!

This weekend our State Capital will return to its roots as the streets are transformed into the Wild Wild West. Enjoy different activities everyday during this event! Visitors will be enthralled by gunfights, horse and wagon rides, western musical performances, and more! There will be cowboys in full dress, riding down the dirt roads created by two tons of earth to fill in the streets.  Fun as well as historical, this takes you back to the days of old, and to enjoy yourself at the same time! It doesn’t cost anything to get in so check the website out for info,  http://sacramentogoldrushdays.com/

Carefree living at it’s best! The Secret of Richmond’s Marina Bay!

Filed under: Anchor Cove, Uncategorized — admin @ 7:37 pm

With all the buzz surrounding our community in Richmond’s Marina Bay, I just had to get out there and find out for myself what everyone is talking about!  I was anything but disappointment between the excitement of the new construction and all that the area has to offer.

Last week we released a new building for sale.  Already, there have been sales.  The homeowners from this building will have the luxury of choosing all of their options and watching their home be built from foundation stage.  It is hard to believe that in just 6 months their home will be completed and go from sticks in the air to beautiful homes on the water.

I can see why these buyers were so anxious to live in this area. It is beautiful here and there is so much to do! Stroll on the shoreline esplanade or grab a sandwich from Amini’s deli,  http://www.yelp.com/biz/aminis-by-the-bay-richmond and pinic in any of the public parks dotting the bay front.  There is a wonderful restaurant close by if you are interested in a more formal setting as well, www.salutemarinabay.com.  Watch the pelicans skim the water near Brooks Island, http://www.ebparks.org/parks/brooks_island.    Perhaps one of the most enticing features of the area is the Marina Bay Trail! Walkers, joggers, bicyclists, skaters etc can enjoy over 26 miles of trails at the edge of the harbor, water and wild life preserves.  Even on a foggy day you can see the silhouette of the San Francisco Skyline. Check out the video: Richmond Marina Bay

It is not just for sailing and boating.  There is also a lot of history here at Marian Bay. Come enjoy the tales of the area’s rich past.  It dates back to 2000 BC.  The Bay Trail actually has a variety of fascinating stories illustrating the history of Richmond’s shoreline and describing its tidal wetlands, wildlife and offshore islands.

If you haven’t had a chance to come out here, I strongly suggest it.  Stop by our models and see the world-class views of San Francisco for yourself!

Father’s Day around the Bay!

Filed under: Anchor Cove, Candlestick Cove, Outlook, Pleasant Oak — admin @ 6:08 pm

With Father’s Day right around the corner, daughters and sons all over Northern California will be searching for unique ideas to spend time their dads.  Between San Francisco and Sacramento there are plenty of ways to celebrate with your family! 

Depending on your dad’s hobbies you can just about find anything that he will like here in the bay area.  If your dad loves golf and you want to venture down the coast, Pebble Beach in Monterey has the US Open this year! Here is the website: www.usopen.com

 

 

 

 

 

 In San Francisco, the de Young Museum has a wonderful exhibit currently running, Birth of Impressionism: Masterpieces from the Musée d’Orsay.  Visit http://www.famsf.org/ for more information on this stunning exhibition. I recently took my dad and he really enjoyed it. A day at the beach is always a wonderful way to spend time with your family.  Crissy Field (www.crissyfield.org) down in the Marina is dog friendly and the whole family can enjoy the sand and sun.  Stop by The Marina Deli on Chestnut Street for a great sandwich to enjoy while watching the kite boarders and wind sailors in action and you also won’t be disappointed by the view of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz. The North Beach Festival (www.northbeachchamber.com) will be going on in Washington Park off of Columbus as well.  It is a wonderful way to take in some good music and eat yummy Italian cuisine. Check out all the events happening on Sunday at www.sfgate.com under “Entertainment.”

 

 

     

Signature Properties also has wonderful communities in Sacramento. Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting the different neighborhoods and found out about different events. Sacramento is lucky enough to have one of the best minor league ball clubs in the nation. The River Cats will be playing at 1pm at Raley Field. Go to www.rivercats.com to purchase tickets for the game and don’t forget to bring your glove.   Not only does Sacramento have have a great ball park there is a World Class Zoo.  Take your dad this Sunday and visit the new 10 week old tiger cub. There is a very cute video of her on the www.saczoo.com website.   Maybe your dad is curious about the history of California? There is an event at the Sutter Fort State Historical Monument that sounds very interesting. Guests will get a chance to speak with Pioneers from the Gold Rush days and hear about their adventures coming to California. Check out http://www.parks.ca.gov for more information. 

 

 

 

 

        

 

 

 

 

 

I hope these ideas have been helpful. I know my dad is going to want to do something low key. On Fathers Day,  I’m going to his house with a BBQ set and his favorite cut of steak. I’ll attempt to cook for him but something tells me he’ll take over! I have been looking at recipes online and found a couple great ones on foodnetwork.com and this is a great video on barbecuing a Porterhouse steak.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiGTIFPOusM. I’m hoping we won’t be too full take a hike afterwards. I know we would all would like it especially his dogs.  Check out your city’s local website for hiking trails and parks if you think your dad would like that too.  Please feel free to post any ideas you have as well. What will you be doing this Sunday?
