Zumba (Thursdays)
Every Thursday morning at 9:45-10:45 I teach Zumba at the YMCA.  Even if you aren’t a member, you can join as my guest a few times! 

Elephant Seals (everyday)
If you’ve never seen the elephant seals at Ano Nuevo, you are missing out! These creatures are incredible and they are visiting now!

Stay N Play (Every 2nd and 4th Friday)
This was a favorite pre-pandemic!  Every other Friday Trinity Church of Sunnyvale (477 N. Mathilda Avenue) hosts a fun play session with toys, bouncy houses, etc.  The fun begins at 9.30am and lasts until 11:30 am (and the last half an hour is a circle time with educational songs).
