Summer Entertainment
Summer is often the highlight of a student’s year. For Fremont students, summer means no school, no homework and good weather. Finding new ways to keep yourself entertained can be very difficult at times; of course, there is always the expected “ideal” summer, like going to Disneyland or Universal Studios. But there are so many things to do closer to Sunnyvale that will make this summer extra great.
Living in California, FHS students have the option to go to the beach. In only about an hour by car, students can go to enjoy the coast. Twin Lakes State Beach is a popular beach and state park. Twin Lakes not only has a beautiful view of the ocean but also of a lighthouse, a boat dock and volleyball nets. The nets are never as crowded as the ones on Santa Cruz or Capitola beaches. Another great aspect of Twin Lakes is the lack of seaweed. The ocean at Capitola and Santa Cruz, on the other hand, has lots of seaweed in the water.
For those who don’t enjoy going to the beach, or are just looking for a way to avoid a sunburn, going to the movies is a year-long way of entertaining yourself for at least an hour. This summer, several movies are coming to theaters that will bring back memories, such as Toy Story 4 and The Lion King. For action lovers, Spider Man - Far From Home, Men in Black: International, Dark Phoenix and Godzilla; King of Monsters will be hitting theaters soon.
Students can ride the CalTrain to San Francisco. In the city, there are countless things to do such as watching the sea lions on the piers, shopping or getting food. This summer, San Francisco will hold yet again their annual Fourth of July & Celebration firework show. Two sets of fireworks go off at the same time so if you are anywhere around Pier 39 and Municipal Pier, you will surely get an amazing view of this 30 minute show.
During the summer, on Wednesdays, the local farmers market has more than just its regular fruits and veggies stands. The downtown Sunnyvale farmers market has live music, booths with jewlery plants and much more. Many local restaurants offer special deals during the farmers market as well.
Some great snack recommendations are making a meal out of french fries at Santa Clara’s new #getfried fry cafe, VITALITY BOWLS and Nektar. These are great local places to grab a refreshing summer fruit acai bowl. Psycho donuts and Rocko’s Ice Cream Tacos are excellent dessert shops to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Summer is almost here, so get excited! There are lots of fun things students can do this summer to stay entertained.
