if your staying near Concord I recommend going to Walnut creek for restaurants. Only a couple of miles down the freeway and a lot of trendy to high end restaurants to choose from. If you have time to play tourist I have a couple of free passes to the Blackhawk auto museum in Danville. The museum is about 25 min from Concord and open wed. thru Saturday.

Blackhawk is very nice, classy enough that most women don't mind looking at cars...  And the Blackhawk Grill isn't bad at all...

Concord is an area Jack is allot more familiar with than I am... For me it's a bit of a drive....

Thanks guys.
8pm game tonight and a midday one tomorrow. Wins/losses will dictate additional game times to know how free we will be.

Think we will head to the Walnut Creek area.

Any thought on going to Napa?

Nicer there in summer though.

If you would like the museum tickets I would be glad to drop them off to you. I'm about 12 miles away from Concord.

Thanks for all the advise.
We did eat at Melos Italian tonight.
Was very good.

Mopar Jack,
Thanks for the ticket offer.

Unfortunately a close friend of my wife passed away today suddenly. So...
Gonna be low key and somber now.

Thanks again all.
Mike
