Holiday Boat Parade In Redondo Beach

On Friday night we took my son to the Annual Redondo Beach holiday boat parade in Redondo Beach harbor. It was the first time I have been to it but I have been to the boat parades in Newport Beach and Huntington Harbor. The parade started at 5:30 and end around 7:00...but we did not stay the entire time.

We Love To Fly In The South Bay In LA

Ok...maybe everyone in the South Bay doesn't love to fly...but I do. On December 14 we were invited to a United Airlines ribbon cutting ceremony at LAX to celebrate United's first non-stop flight from LAX to FRA [Frankfurt, Germany].

First we were invited to the United Airlines First Class International Lounge in the airport to have some German wines, cake and apple strudel then we went down to gate 76 where the flight was going to leave from and there there was 2 large cakes and cider for all of the passengers flying this first flight.

Much to our friend's surprise the airlines asked him to participate in cutting of the ribbon (he is a frequent flyer, Global Services, member on United and he is also Swiss German and flies to Frankfurt often.

Did I mention that we didn't have a ticket to fly but were allowed to come into the airport with a special pass?

Fun...ok...I am a dork.

Holiday Office Parties in Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach

I went to two office parties this week. One for my office at Beaches in Manhattan Beach and the other was...don't tell anyone...another brokers office party. A friend was invited to the OB party and asked if I wanted to tag along so I thought why not and apparently I was not the only one from my company that attended this party.

Both parties had lots of food and drinks and everyone had a great time!


There are photos but I am going to be nice and not post them. :)

Clippers Viewing Party in Hermosa Beach

Several times a year the Clippers have a viewing party and invite their season ticket holders to come and enjoy some food, drink and they raffle off items with some of the Clipper Spirit and Clipper staff.

Last night they had it at the North End Bar in Grill in Hermosa Beach so we decided to stop by since it was close .

They had complimentary food, drink specials and prizes raffled.

Holiday Cheer in Manhattan Beach

Oh the holidays....

Last night was the first of the holiday parties I will attend this year. My friend usually has her party the first Friday of December but there was a scheduling conflict so her party was the last day of November.

We had friends from all over the US here as well as one or two from abroad. There was a lot of eating and drinking which plays havoc on my diet...
