It occurs to me that the "formal" swanking season is the winter and spring. Summertime usually sees its own, more common social events ... and the ensuing "holiday season" stretching from October to, well ... now, often finds the social calendar full as well.

I noticed last year that the attempt at organized, monthly swankings lasted only till May. Cemetery screenings, 4th of July, Disneyland Birthday and general summer fun tended to "interfere" with events more planned-out. And ditto for everything from Labor Day to New Years, though there's hardly been a lack of fun during any season of the year.

The dead of winter seems to need the most "help," and there are certainly enough suggetions so far (and keep 'em coming) to provide a good half-dozen events for the Swanking Season. Let's try to best last year's season, and offer a monthy event thru June 2007!

Hopefully, we'll come up with some finalists early in January ... because we should have our first swanking of the year within the next 31 days!!

Your list GC~

My sister loves finding graves throughout Hollywood, wherever. Do you look on line for places to go?

Wild Animal Park~ haven't done that in ages...I wouldn't go on a hot day....

Sea World~since you are close, check in to the special where you get the year for a days price? Might need AAA but I am not sure...or it may be two days...but there is/was something.

I want to do the Museum of Tolerance with the family. Went with the 6th graders. So emotional but so relevant.

L.A. has a lot of ghost tours. San Diego does have one, too and I really want to go!!!

How long does it take to get to Hearst Castle? I've only done the first tour. I love it.

Never been to Vegas....like to go for a show....

Missing Tahoe. Stay in a cabin on the lake. Not enough time off of work to go.

Lone Pine? Do tell!!

I want to go to the Calico Ghost Town {or whatever it is called} that Knott's gave to the state {?}. I hear you can stay on the grounds {some cabins? camp ground?} and that it is haunted!!! Oooo!!!! But it is far. Am I right?

We only have a trip planned to Yosemite. I say only because we normally hit up Tahoe, Monterey, Frisco, San Simeon. Sadly, not enough time.

Anyone going to Yosemite? We are scheduled to be there 3/12-3/15. Staying at the Lodge.

We did Yosemite (Camp Curry) last Columbus Day weekend. We're going back (to the Lodge) 4/15-4/18. It's wonderful.

Calico is fun. You can camp, or rent a cabin (some are "haunted"). It's not that far, about 3 hours from Orange County, near Barstow, off the 15. One of the guys up there does a ghost walk tour which is pretty fun. They take a group of about 10 people through the ghost town at night. It's pretty dark, and of course everyone hears all the stories and you are pretty much all on a hair trigger when you walk around the town. All you have to do is touch the person next to you to get the whole group to freak out. One person with us was walking through the graveyard during the daytime and looked at us and noticed that there were 5 shadows for 4 people. I'm not sure how much I believe but it's fun nonetheless.
