Lots of family friendly events throughout the year and all sorts of food and food trucks come in to keep the list changing. During the colder months that have a fire pit and a s’more food truck type thing that is pretty cool. Del Mar is a great restaurant down there.

Lots of shop options, places to eat, great walking space to explore and the Capital wheel was a nice touch. Made me miss the DMV area for sure. I enjoyed my time.
