Davidson, there will be the 88th Annual Sunrise Service starting at 6:45 am with participation by gospel choirs as well as the House of Bagpipes. Dress warmly. Easter Egg Hunts are happening […]

Bay Area seniors with weak stomachs and wobbly legs may want to forego whale watching from a boat. Fortunately this time of year there are plenty of on- shore alternatives where you can watch the passing parade of 30 to 40 ton cetaceans without reaching for the Dramamine.
