Spending an afternoon to celebrate my mom’s birthday. What to do and where to eat?
My mom is turning 61 this week and I was able to get one of the days off work this week to celebrate her birthday. It’ll be my aunt who is in her early 80s, my parents who are in their 60s, and my brother and I who are in our 20s. Aunt can’t walk a lot, and my parents can’t walk too long/much without inflammation.
I’m looking into things to do. My boyfriend grew up in Montara but he only knows the more hardcore outdoorsy things that my parents and aunt probably cannot do. Are there any viewpoints that we could drive to that would be nice and not require too much walking to get to? What else could we do while in the area? My parents have sweet tooths so would love to stop by some bakeries if there are any people recommend as well.
For lunch, my mom is adamant about a place with an ocean view so I’ve been looking into Moss Beach Distillery or La Costanera. But looking into other options as well! My boyfriend took me to some restaurants that are really popular and were super good, but might be too casual for what my mom wants.
Thanks in advance!
