It's Good To Be In LA...

One of the reasons that I love this city or cities near by it, is that there are so many things that this city has to offer. I'm sure you are thinking why the heck and I talking about the city when I have a picture of a gingerbread cookie. Well, you are about to find out. In Santa Ana, at the Discovery Science Center, there is an event about The Science of Gingerbread! How ridiculously cool! I feel like sometimes as students we think that the only time that we can learn is when we are sitting down and a teacher is dictating what to write on our papers, so then we'll eventually learn. Personally, I think the only time when we really learn is when we want to and through our experiences. Everybody has had at least one gingerbread cookie or made a gingerbread house. So, why not learn about why this yummy dessert has become a Christmas icon and how it's made. I know that there are not many people that read this, but if you have a chance, check this event out. You might even see me there.

Also, in Downtown LA, every year, at Pershing Square Park an ice skating rink is made. This will definitely be on my check list as well. I haven't be ice skating in FOREVER. In fact, I think it was about 12 years ago that I went ice skating. And, what better way to bring in the Christmastime with some ice skating. If you think about it, it's almost like skating at the Rockefeller in Manhattan. And probably, with less people... and it'll be warmer. Although, it was in the 30's today, so maybe not. Check this for more info. If I end up going, you will see pictures, although, I have a feeling more of them will be with my butt on the ice.

Lastly, when I was 7 years old, my mom took me to a high tea in London. It was a great experience. We had tons of tea, and I totally felt like like royalty. Over the years, we have had teas in LA with some of our friends at this cute little tea place. However, some of the nice hotels like the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in LA is having a Christmas Tea. What a great thing to do with some friends and family. There it is $30 per person and $22 for children. Check it out, especially if you have some little girls, it will totally make their day.
