I have always loved the month of December; it's the start of the holiday season. There's no better way to celebrate than with a trip to see the Nutcracker. Now in its 23rd year, the Stapleton Ballet production features the story of Clara and her wild adventures with the Nutcracker. With new choreography and costumes, the stage will ignite with vibrance and excitement. Over 150 dancers from the Stapleton School of the Performing Arts will engage audience members young and old. It's sure to be an amazing way to spend the weekend.
Event info: 4 performances. 1pm and 5pm on Saturday and Sunday December 3 and 4, 2011
Event Location: Marin Civic Center - 10 Avenue of the Flags, San Rafael, CA 94903

Over fifty years later, Joseph Eichler's iconic mid-century modern homes are still as popular as ever and San Rafael (Terra Linda and Lucas Valley), is full of them. I have had the good fortune to live in one for the last eight years. I love the floor to ceiling windows, feasibility of one level living, indoor outdoor lifestyle and up until a year ago my fabulous radiant heat. Radiant heat, a classic element in Eichler's building style, is a marvelous heating system that allows hot water to flow through pipes imbedded in the concrete slab and then radiate out to create a most wonderful warm home. But what happens...

This light, spacious & immaculate 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath contemporary home has a deep water boat dock, lush gardens, level lawn and patio areas perfect for enjoying outdoor life on the waterfront. There are beautiful water views plus Bay Bridge, Alcatraz, Tiburon, Belevedere views and a peek at the San Francisco city lights.
This tranquil setting is gated, at the end of a private lane and feels like a little bit of paradise! All this yet just 5 minutes from grocery stores, restaurants, shops, the Strawberry Recreation...

Pelican Inn, Muir Beach CA - Romantic Inn at The Beach What Is The Most Romantic Restaurant in Marin County?

Is there really one single solitary answer to this question?
Romance for me might not mean the same thing for you or even my best friend but
hopefully it's the same for my boyfriend or your significant other. Atmosphere, food, timing can all be part of
a romantic experience but the individual and collective components are specific and unique
to each person.
Romance and food together create a world of it's own with the magical combination of all the parts. When dining out the service and ambiance at a restaurant
plays a huge part. Have you had that waitperson that stays a little too long, talks
a little too much about the specials, and creates an uncomfortable air around
the table? I have and it's painful.
A roaring fire, a single candle on the table, a wait person
that slips in and slips...

Earlier this week on a balmy fall evening, my husband and I
walked the hills above San Rafael on our way to dinner on Fourth Street. The beauty of living in the West
End Neighborhood is the proximity to downtown San Rafael and San
Anselmo.
Our walk took us up Spring Grove where we took a trail that landed us on Upper Toyon in Kentfield and a
beautiful sunset over Mt. Tam, then meandered down another trail to Gerstle Park and from
there to downtown. We were hungry but not in the white
table cloth dining sort of way. We were in the mood for
something more casual, less expensive, where we could have a glass of wine, sit outside and enjoy the last of the warm evenings.
We ended up at Chaat Lotus and Spices at the West End of...
