Monday, December 29 - Full day - Participate in Float Preparation

What a wonderful opportunity to assist in the final stages of preparing the floats for the Tournament of Roses Parade.  We will be at the float staging area for most of today and have the chance to participate in a variety of float preparation activities. The "float captains" who are in charge of building and decorating the floats will give us our assignments. You could be gluing flowers onto the float, or coloring corn husks....who knows.  At the end of this day, we will know we have been a part of something very special.  We'll return to the hotel late afternoon and relax.

Tuesday, December 30 - Hollywood and Beverly Hills Tour, Crystal Cathedral

We will begin our day with a tour including the famous sights in Hollywood plus a stop at Rodeo Drive.  Rodeo Drive at its best during Christmas when lights and flowers decorate the streets and the stores outdo themselves with Christmas decor.  This evening we will attend the Glory of Christmas at the Crystal Cathedral.

Wednesday, December 31 - J. Paul Getty Museum, Dinner

Today we will visit the Getty Museum to view its collection of Western art from the Middle Ages to the present against a backdrop of dramatic architecture, tranquil gardens, and breathtaking views.  We will see European paintings, drawings, manuscripts, sculpture and decorative arts, and European and American photographs. Time permitting we will go to Long Beach and have some free time in that area. We'll have dinner together tonight and toast the incoming New Year. (B, D)

We will get an early start today to watch the beautiful flower-filled floats and see the nation's finest marching bands perform right before our eyes as we experience one of the nation's most beloved annual events.  After the parade, we will see how much of the day is left and see if we have time to explore a bit more before returning back to the hotel.
