It’s 158 years since California became the 31st state of the union. Members of the California State Capitol Museum, are celebrating Admissions Day with a public celebration on the lawn of the Capitol building, serving cake & ice cream to all visitors. Wandering in the halls and around the grounds are ladies dressed 1850’s period costurmes This seems pretty tame compared to the wild parties they supposedly had back in 1850.
Santa Monica is gearing up for the 100 year celebration of the Santa Monica Pier, originally built in 1909. The Pier & beach area have been under renovation including the new “green” ferris wheel and the much anticipated “Sand Tram” set to open in 2009, a vehicle powered by natural gas, will transport beachgoers across the sand to the pier and other locations, including the soon to be completed Annenberg Beach House.
Who hasn’t had the dream to sleep in a castle? I have heard that the evening tour at the Hearst Castle offers a different beautiful side to this magnificent castle & sensational sunset views. Thanks to a non-profit group, you may now have your chance! As a fundraiser to restore the vast art collection – you can go to eBay and join in on the auction to spend an overnight stay at this historic castle for one lucky couple & the opportunity to dine there with eight of your best friends.
I love happy celebrations & if I can’t be there – Then to read about them & enjoy the photos, is the next best thing. We really don’t have to go far from Los Angeles to enjoy celebrations and good times year round. That’s why I love LA!
Have fun and keep smiling.
