Two weeks ago we tried the Hayes Mansion brunch for the first time. The historic landmark is a conference center and hotel here in San Jose... it is the last place you would expect to have a family friendly and inexpensive, but delicious breakfast. Did I mention the Hayes Mansion is a very nice hotel? Places like this I imagine are pretentious, expensive and not a good place for kids... but I'm very wrong.
The before 10 am on Sunday's kids eat free offer gets you an all you can eat breakfast buffet for a family of four for just under $25. With kids, buffet means different things depending on your kid. Xander eats breakfast like an adult (the kid loves breakfast), and Caleb has a bowl of corn flakes and a few strawberries.
Xander loved the breakfast so much that he begged to go back today, which we did.
The other appeal is the vicinity of Hayes Mansion to the Edenvale Garden Park. The park used to be a Frontier Village amusement park that closed in 1980. It now has a lovely woodsy trail, and a great playscape including a rock slide. So, after breakfast we walked to the park for an hour or so of play.
Vicinity to a park is an important criteria for us. It gives us something to do after breakfast, and a way to burn off some energy outdoors before we start our day. I'm certain we'll become regulars at the Hayes Mansion on Sundays this summer.
