Universal Studios has transformed into a wonderlan Universal Studios has transformed into a wonderland of holiday fun with Grinchmas and Christmas in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. #hosted

We enjoyed the “Grinchmas” Who-bilation and caught the Who-Bee Doo-Wops group, Who-ville’s latest musical sensation singing holiday classics while we waiting to chat with The Grinch. My daughter and her boyfriend made their own Grinchmas ornament to hang on one of the Who-ville trees and they sent off a merry postcard at the Who-Ville post office

In the evening, we had to check out the celebration and lighting of the festive topsy-turvy 65 foot-tall “Grinchmas” tree, adorned with hundreds of ornaments and thousands of LED lights in Universal Plaza which ends with snow.

“Christmas in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter” brings the spirit of the holiday season to the village of Hogsmeade™ as the land is transformed with merry décor of shimmering lights, decorative garlands and festive wreaths. During the day, catch special holiday a cappella performances from the Frog Choir. And don't forget to grab delicious hot Butterbeer™ or savor festive fare at Three Broomsticks™ followed by “The Magic of Christmas at Hogwarts™ Castle”. Starting at dusk, don't miss the impressive light projection show that illuminates Hogwarts™ School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It  brings the iconic Hogwarts™ castle to life.

We also had the chance to check out Super Mario world and had such a great time racing Mario Kart™: Bowser’s Challenge.

Over the Thanksgiving weekend, since we were in L Over the Thanksgiving weekend, since we were in Las Vegas visiting family, we all decided to check out The Sphere. If you have been to the strip recently, you've probably seen the huge dome not too far from the Venetian Hotel & Casino.

The Sphere is futuristic entertainment, powered by cutting-edge technologies that transport audiences to places both real and imagined. It recently opened in September 2023 and kicked off with hosting U2, which is rumored to return in December. We were able to see "Postcard From Earth", a sci-fi story combined with the evolution of our planet and human impact.

The Sphere Experience starts with Aura, a real-life humanoid robot, in which guests can interact and ask questions. You are also invited to partake in a free video avatar experience which places you into a short video snippet of your choosing that will be emailed back to you.

Some pointers if you are visiting the Sphere experience:

Get your tickets online

Parking is available at the Howard Hughes parking lots around the Sphere and can be purchased in advance by Ticketmaster.

You can also access the Sphere through the Venetian - you can park there as well.

It is a lot of walking so bring comfortable shoes.

There is a bag policy: small clutches, purses, and fanny packs that are no larger than approximately 6 in. x 6 in. x 2 in

The Sphere is a cashless experience.

Food, snacks, and beverages are available for purchase

Only outside plastic water bottles will be permitted

There is ADA entrance and seating.

The Postcard from Earth runs about 50 minutes

The holidays are here, and it is the perfect time The holidays are here, and it is the perfect time to check out the all-new interactive holiday light experience, Imaginarium Fairplex at the Fairplex in Pomona. 

We had the opportunity to check out the Imaginarium in Pomona and had a great time. As soon as we walked in, there was a pirate/high wire show taking place. We also saw a hula hoopist and an acrobatic artist, 9 years old, who did a performance with a floating ring.

There is an area with about 15 different backdrops for photo opportunities right when you walk in. We picked our favorites to take Instagramable photos. Then we walked the 1.5 miles packed with millions of lights, roamed through the dazzling rose garden, shining brightly with over 35,000 LED roses. Then, we ventured deeper into the enchanted forest, where we came face to face with 25 colossal storybook creatures, each aglow in a spectacular cascade of lights. Several of the areas had synchronized music and light shows, colorful tunnels to walk and take photos through. 

We were a little hungry, so we even stopped for a bite to eat and sat next to some of the beautiful light displays. 

Imaginarium will be open for the public for a limited time through the holiday season from Friday, Nov. 17 through Sunday, Jan. 7, 2024, and will be presented from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Tickets start at $19 and increase depending on the day and time.

Wander the streets of Calico to shop Knott’s Christmas Crafts Village for unique holiday gifts.

Over at the Walter Knott Theater, Snoopy and the Peanuts gang take to the ice in Snoopy's Night Before Christmas. 

Be sure to stop at The Wilderness Dance Hall, known as Santa's Christmas Cabin during the holiday season, where the entire family can create fond memories by taking photos with Santa Claus and his friends.

Craving Mahi Mahi? Last night we stopped in at our Craving Mahi Mahi? Last night we stopped in at our local California Fish Grill. Sustainably sourced Mahi Mahi has finally returned to their menu after 2 years. AD

Three healthier, mouthwatering, Mahi Mahi dishes are now available: Mahi Mahi Tacos, the Cali Bowl, and the Grilled Fish Plate. 

The Mahi Mahi Grill Plate features Wild-caught mahi, regular or petite, with the choice of sauces and two sides.

The Mahi Taco Combo Cali-Style is two grilled mahi tacos with cilantro-lime slaw, tomatoes, pickled onions topped Cali-Style with sliced avocado, corn salsa and chipotle aioli served with rice, beans and soft drink. Quite delicious!

The Mahi Bowl Cali-Style is a tasty bowl of grilled mahi on a base of rice and beans with diced chilis, cilantro-lime slaw, pickled onions and topped Cali-Style with Sliced avocado, corn salsa and chipotle aioli. This was my favorite.

With an unwavering dedication to responsible sourcing, California Fish Grill  identified sources from the pristine waters of Costa Rica and Peru and partnered with fisheries that align with the company’s mission of sustainability in order to reintroduce this popular seafood. Therefore, now is the time to drop into your local California Fish Grill and try these delicious entrées.

This week, I met my girlfriends at @avilaselranch This week, I met my girlfriends at @avilaselranchito in Lake Forest. This family owned chain of restaurants offers delicious Mexican cuisine throughout Orange County, California. #avilaspartner

We visited the beautiful Lake Forest location, and met the owner, Nathalie, a 3rd generation Avila family member. She has put her heart and soul into this gorgeous location that boasts a warm and cozy waiting area at this popular location. While you wait, the walls are adorned with colorful artwork and sculptures to admire.

As we entered the restaurant, the staff was so welcoming as they guided us to our table. Again, I was in awe of so many wonderful pieces of art throughout the space.

The cocktails are a plenty at Avila's, and the black margarita is my ultimate favorite, made of Blanco Tequila (Butterfly Cannon), Orange Liqueur, Skinny Mix, and activated charcoal.

We enjoyed watching one of the waiters make us tableside guacamole as we pondered our selections.

We decided on a family-style lunch and shared the starters which included the Fiesta Botana platter what was overflowing with variety of proteins from shrimp to carnitas and ceviche.

For lunch we shared albondigas soup, fajita salad, fish Tacos, and shrimp and carnitas fajitas. Everything was so fresh and full of flavor.

To finish off a fantastic lunch, we ended with flan and a churro sundae.

If you have not yet visited any of the Avila's locations, it is a must. They offer lunch and evening specials as well as a Taco Tuesday.

Wondeeing about what to do in Southern California? Wondeeing about what to do in Southern California? I am so excited to share that one of my gorgeous friends has published a great travel guide for her top 100 Things to Do in Anaheim Before You Die. Melanie Walsh of @clementinecounty shares her favorite hot spots in and around Anaheim, CA.

A hint of what her book has to offer includes taking a stroll through The Packing House, the historic citrus packing plant turned artisan food hall or raise a glass on your beer-cation with award-winning craft breweries like Brewery X, The Bruery Tasting Room, and Radiant Beer Co. Snap photos at Requiem Cafe, an immersive video-game themed coffee shop and then take to the skies with a virtual flight simulation at Flightdeck Air Combat Center. Cheer on the home team with two major league sports teams, but stay out of the gutter at Splitsville, a swanky retro bowling alley.

It was a blast, and I totally recommend the Boo-Fet before the event opens. Early Access to 4 mazes, a variety of food, meet and greet with the scare actors and an All Season drink cup. It was the best way to visit all 10 mazes, scare zones, The Hanging and a few rises.
