Accommodations

 

 

 

Marriott Hotels

 

The Marriot- Courtyard Newark/Silicon Valley
34905 Newark Blvd.
Newark, CA 94560
(510) 792-5200
My sister once worked here, and John's dad hosted his 70th birthday at this Marriot Hotel. It is 0.5 miles away from the wedding location. Also nearby: Chipotle, our twice-a-week eatery. Many other restaurants within walking distance.

 

 

 

The W at Newark

 

W Silicon Valley Newark
8200 Gateway Blvd.
Newark, CA 94560
(510) 494-8800
John and Beckie celebrated Valentine's Day 2006 with mom, Marian, and John's son, Nicholas. All four of us think the burgers at the W's Relish are delectible. Yum! Although 2.0 miles away from the wedding location, it faces a wildlife preserve perfect for joggers.

 

 

 

Local Activities

 

 

 

Fremont's Coyote Hills Park

 

Coyote Hills
800 Patterson Ranch Road
Fremont, CA 94555
We often ride our bikes to this park. It is also wonderful for hiking and viewing wildlife birds.

 

 

 

Don Edwards Wildlife Refuge

 

Don Edwards Wildlife Refuge
9500 Thorton Ave.
Newark, CA 94560
Another wonderful park across Highway 84/Dumbarton perfect for hikes and sunset strolls.

 

 

 

Google Maps - Palo Alto Sites

 

Downtown Palo Alto
University Ave.
About 13.5 miles away from Fremont, you can wander through street shops, restaurants, and cafes. Take Dumbarton Bridge ($4 for toll) and make the first left onto University Avenue. Keep driving until you come across a yuppified main street. Off of Univeristy Avenue on 538 Ramona Street, visit our favorite coffee shop,
Coupa Cafe. We recommend the uniquely unsweet Spiced Mocha.

 

 

 

Stanford University

 

Stanford University
Visit where John works! Actually, there are many free and other interesting places to visit on the Stanford University campus. Hoover Tower offers panoramic views; see the Cantor Center for art and the Rodin sculpture garden; and don't forget the Cactus Garden.
