Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the Tri-Valley and the Bay Area Beyond

January 17, 2010

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is tomorrow. In addition to honoring this special man on this special day, what are you planning to do? Your kids are home from school. It’s the middle of winter. It’s prime time for museums and indoor fun in the Tri-Valley and beyond.

Lucky thing is you’ve got some great choices for adventure near and far. Staying in the Tri-Valley - you could do Super Franks in Pleasanton, Campo di Bocce in Livermore, or Earl Anthony’s Dublin Bowl in Dublin. (All are open tomorrow) Wandering a little further out, there’s always a trip to a museum - Lawrence Hall of Science or Chabot Space & Science Center are only thirty minutes or so away. Looking for more of a drive, you could venture for a day to Sausalito and include the Bay Area Discovery Museum.
