Visit Sacramento California Begins Here
Sacramento is experiencing a true renaissance. It is alive and buzzing with new sights, sounds and smells. As America's Farm-to-Fork Capital, it fuses surrounding farms with local restaurants, which led to the explosion of our farm-fresh food scene. The newly opened Golden 1 Center is the heart of a revitalized downtown core that is walkable and home to new hotels and an entertainment district.
It’s one of California’s most affordable and accessible cities, served by 150 flights daily. The soon-to-be-expanded convention center currently offers 384,000 sq. ft. of event space, 137,500 sq. ft. of exhibit space, 31 meeting rooms, and there are more than 2,000 hotel rooms within walking distance. Major hotel brands include the Hyatt, Sheraton, Marriott, Kimpton, Hilton, DoubleTree, Embassy, Westin and Holiday Inn.
While the evolution of this city continues to progress at breathtaking speed, we hold tight to our history, diversity and natural beauty, which enriches our culture and unique character. It’s all happening here and now, and you too will feel the excitement.
San Diego Food Tour - MASSIVE BURGERS and CRAZY TOSTADAS in California, USA!

Thank you to my sister Pam and brother in law Derek for joining me on this food tour of San Diego, California! And during the video I said Oceanside once, but I meant *Ocean Beach. We were on a family vacation in California, but on one day, we decided to go on an ultimate San Diego California food tour. It was a lot of fun, and you’ll find all the information of all the places we ate below:
Breakfast at Northside Shack - We started off in the morning, and first headed to Northside Shack to try their highly rated açaí bowl. It’s a laid back kind of spot, and I ordered the $11 bowl which was the large size. The acai is frozen into a sorget, and then they layered it with granola, about 12 different kinds of fruits, and nuts and seeds. It was delicious and refreshing, great way to begin this food tour.
Hodad's - Probably one of the most legendary of all restaurants in San Diego, California is Hodad’s serving massive double bacon cheeseburgers, and classic American food. The original location is located in Ocean Beach, and it has so much character, plastered with graffiti and stickers. Derek and I each ordered the double bacon cheeseburger, which is a monster burger. It takes some strategy to eat, but it was well worth it. It’s a delicious burger, and I also really enjoyed the onion rings. Price - $14.25
Blue Water Seafood Market & Grill - Pam and Derek had been here before and they knew it was good, so it was a restaurant in San Diego that I was looking forward to trying. You stand in line, order at the counter, and then find a seat. They offer fresh fish of the day, everything very fresh. We started with some oysters and the main dish, which was the best dish of the meal for me was the blackened black seabass. Delicious food, one of the best restaurants I ate at in San Diego. Total price - $65.23
Communal Coffee - Next we stopped to have a quick avocado toast and coffee. It was my first avocado toast at a restaurant, and although it was a little dainty, it was pretty awesomely delicious, a real treat. Price - $26.02 for everything (I think 3 coffees and avocado)
Nine Seas Seafood - Home of the Crazy Tostada, this seafood food truck is a gem of Mexican seafood. We ordered a few ceviches, not knowing how enormous the crazy tostadas were. They were huge, and packed with just about “everything from the sea.” But not only were the crazy tostates huge and crazy, but they were delicious, especially loaded with salsa. Total price - $24.75 for everything
And that completes this San Diego food tour. It was an amazing day and the food was delicious!

CA-99 thru Stanislaus County and Modesto, CA
This video features California State Route 99 through the busy corridor through Stanislaus and Southern San Joaquin County. Lots of people use this route and CA-132 to access and commute to the Bay Area for work. Just thought I would show this route on film.

This property was hit really bad by Hurricane Ivan in 2004 and again by Hurricane Wilma in 2005, and suffered damages from unimaginable amounts of flooding.
The owners have since been involved with extensive clean up and repair work to get the building back into shape. They plan to reopen soon, but have yet to announce an official date.

LARGEST Market in USA
►iPhone XS MAX◄ 4K
Located in the heart of the north-east San Jose in California, the San Jose Flea Market is one of the largest open-air flea market in the U.S., also known as Berryessa Flea Market, due to its location at Berryessa Road in San José, California. George Bumb Sr. created the market back in 1960, after he visited Paris and got inspired by France’s capital city’s flea market (and particularly the Saint Ouen Flea Market), as well as a few swap meets in Los Angeles.
60 years later, the San Jose Flea Market has become a true California landmark with over four million visitors flocking there each year. The 8 miles (13 km) worth of aisles allows for over 2,000 vendors – which makes it almost as big as the iconic Rose Bowl Flea Market and its 2,500 stalls. Vendors at San Jose flea market sell a wide array of goods ranging from jewelry, furniture, collectibles and clothing, to fruit, vegetables, toys, books, cars, car stereo equipment, toiletries, artwork, tools, cookware, and cosmetics, among other things.
With a population and surface larger than some small towns (120 acres), the San Jose Market is a major contributor to the income of many Silicon Valley families.
