Free Admission for Moms at Charles Schulz Museum

Mom can visit the Charles Shutz Museum for free

Who is Charles Schultz? Maybe you will find an unfamiliar face of an American uncle on Google, but if you flip it again, you will see Snoopy, which we are familiar with. That's right, he is the author of "Peanut Comics" (Snoopy is just the protagonist of this comic), and his former home in Santa Rosa is now a museum commemorating cartoon characters such as him and Snoopy. Everything about "Peanuts Comics" is on display here, which restored Charles's studio before his death. It is definitely a favorite of Snoopy!

Angel Island Conservancy Wildflower Hike

Angel Island Walking Tour

Alcatraz and Treasure Island and Alameda are well known, while Angel Island, which corresponds to Alcatraz, is relatively small. It was once a military fortress and was once used as an immigration review office, a bit like New York's Ellis Island. Now the entire island belongs to the California State Park system. It needs to be reached by ferry. Although there are historical sites and a small number of residential areas, the beautiful natural scenery and 360-degree views of San Francisco and Marine County make it a heaven for hiking lovers. This Saturday's collective hike is guided by a guide, with a total length of about 4 miles.

Movies in the Park: “Inside Out”

Open-air movie "Mind Agents"

This week's free open-air movie is in Auckland. The venue is relatively large. Popcorn, hot dogs and hot chocolate can be bought on site. At night in the Bay Area, you know, bring a piece of clothing or a blanket, and do n’t sit directly on the cool grass. The film being played was "Mind Agents", and it was considered a conscience with a wide open mind before the release of "Crazy Animal City", especially compared with "Dinosaur Masters" who could not bear to look at it in the same year ... Donate food to Alameda County Food Bank, it must be a non-perishable type (even if the fruits and vegetables are fresh), you can get free popcorn
