Panama Joe’s Weekend Brunch

Posted on February 1, 2018

What Is it?:  Okay, don’t stop reading yet.  I know you’re probably like “This is neither free nor an actual ‘event'”, but hear me out.  Every weekend, Panama Joe’s has this amazing brunch deal! It’s called the Rise and Shine breakfast and for $5-6/person, you can get 2 eggs, 2 pieces of bacon, hashbrowns, and either 2 pancakes or pieces of french toast, PLUS bottomless mimosas for an hour.  AN HOUR.  Check out a copy of one of our receipts in the photos.

PLUS bottomless mimosas for an hour.

We go almost every weekend and us adults get one breakfast for each of us with mimosas, and one breakfast for the kids to share.  We even end up taking food home.They had kids’ menus that come with crayons and also wikki stix (which our toddler loves and we should just buy some for her…) . We bring our busy bags as well..

Tips: 

  • – Leave a good tip!
  • – Go early on Sundays during football season as it tends to fill up quickly.
  • – If you plan on staying for the hour, make sure you bring enough stuff for the kiddos to do 🙂

Cost:  $5-6 per person, plus the cost of any drinks other than mimosas.  Be sure to factor in a good tip as well.  If you spend an hour at a table getting waited on, including frequent mimosa refills and your bill is only $15-20, I suggest leaving at least $5.

Hours: Saturday and Sunday 9 am – 11:30 am.

Stroller Friendly: You can fit a stroller, but if you drive it would be easier to leave it in the car.

Inside/Outside: Inside but there is patio seating as well.

Alcohol: Yes

Parking: Yes, there is metered parking behind the restaurant or along 2nd street, as well as free parking on the side streets.

Active family:  No

Food:  There is tons of food!

Palos Verdes Trump Trails

Posted on February 1, 2018

What Is it?:  Trump Trails is a series of gorgeous hiking trails adjacent to Trump Golf Course.  There is a decent stretch of paved trail that is stroller friendly at the beginning and then it goes off into a gravel path.  There are various paths that lead down to the water where you can see tide pools with sea anemones, crabs, and even starfish at low tide. This path down is steep so perhaps come alone first and try it out to see if you think your kids are capable.

Fun Tips: 

  • – Bring sunscreen – there is no shade
  • – There are no bathrooms on the trails so go at the golf course before you start
  • – Bring plenty of water!  Along with no shade, the sun reflects off the ground so it can feel warmer than it is, even with the breeze

Cost:  Free

Hours: Sunrise to sunset

Stroller Friendly: Some parts are.  You can probably go about a mile with a stroller on the paved area until it narrows and turns into gravel.  We usually leave the stroller in the car.

Inside/Outside: Outside

Alcohol: No

Parking: Yes – at Trump Golf Course. 

Active family:  Yes.

Food:  You are allowed outside food and drinks but there are few places on the trails to have a picnic.  There is 1 picnic table and the beach is rocky so even if you hike down, it is not the best place for a blanket.  If you want to eat here, I would suggest leaving the food in a cooler in the car and getting it after your hike.  There is a large grassy patch to put a blanket on at the beginning/end of the trails.  There is a restaurant here as well if you prefer to buy a lunch.
