Welcome To The Magic Castle

September 30th, 2008


It’s exactly a month from Halloween. If you’re looking to spend the holiday somewhere special, what better place to celebrate the magic of Halloween than in the famous Magic Castle. One of the most famous magic clubs in the world, it’s located in Hollywood, California. It hosts nightly performances by the world’s finest magicians. However, the Magic Castle is a private club; only members and their guests are admitted in to attend the club’s performances, though courtesy invitations can be obtained by magicians visiting from out of town. If you want to experience the full magical experience this Halloween, you can stay at the Magic Castle Hotel, an affiliate of Magic Castle. Guests of the hotel can get dinner reservations and are permitted inside the Magic Castle. You’ll also get a chance to dress up since a strict dress code (coat and tie for men, cocktail attire for women) is enforced. For families with kids, you’ll have to schedule your visit since minors are only allowed during Sunday brunch.

The National Air and Space Museum is a learning museum located at the National Mall in Washington DC. The museum has 22 galleries and the “Albert Einstein Planetarium”. It presents 2 shows: “The Cosmic Collision” and “The Stars Tonight”. Another Gallery is called “How things fly” and it has a lot of interactive devices for hands-on learning about flying. The Early Flight gallery displays the original 1903 Wright Flyer and 170 other related artifacts. Another gallery named “Exploring the Planets” features the achievements of humankind about planetary explorations, even here on Earth. “Explore the Universe” is a gallery about how humankind observes the starry sky starting with the naked eye, through different primitive telescopes, and then into the digital age full of high powered telescopes. There are still a lot more inside the museum and I recommend this field trip to those who has kids and those who wants to grab some fun with the family.

Golfing at Yellowstone

February 15th, 2008

Did you know that you can go golfing at Yellowstone! There are lots to do in this national park.

Besides golfing there are other things to do: mountain biking in nearby Teton Valley, skiing and snowboarding around during winter, and whitewater rafting in the Yellowstone River. There’s quite a lot of things to do so stay even after the geysers have done their thing.
