The weekend after Thanksgiving I was in San Jose on business and decided to stay for the weekend. Ryan joined me and we spent two nights checking out San Jose and took a day trip Saturday to the coast, namely to Monterey and brief visit to Santa Cruz.
Day 1 – San Jose

San Jose’s Winter in the Park. Think community Christmas trees and dolls.
Day 2 – San Jose

Dinner on Santana Row. Had fantastic scallops, though not pictured here.
Day 3 – Monterey / Santa Cruz

Asilomar Park in Monterey. My favorite of the trip, beautiful beautiful place.

Ghiradellis hot chocolates on Santa Cruz’s Boardwalk. Note chunk of fudge.
Day 4 – San Jose

The San Jose Holiday Parade. On NBC and right outside our hotel!
