Chinatown

We spent a great day in Chinatown today...in downtown LA. We started with Dim Sum at 10am and then went across town to the FIDM Academy Nominated Films costume exhibit...wow..as usual! Then back to Chinatown for shopping and more food...yum! I got some more of the little lanterns like the one in the photos of my chinese themed doll in the previous post. They are so cute and only $1.50...plus they actually light up..love it!

Here are photos of me & hubby...we got a new camera so we had to try it out.

Hubby's Book

I am very excited for my hubby. His book: HOMELAND, THE ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL, has just won the National Jewish Council Book Award in the category of Children and Young Adult Literature. Homeland details 3,500 years of Jewish history, from the time of Abraham to the year 2007. It has won a number of other prestegious awards as well. It is beautifully illustrated by Mario Ruiz. You can find it at Amazon!!

Segways!

Okay...not doll related but fun! Marv and I went up to Santa Barbara for the day and took a tour on segways. They are quite easy to ride once you get the hang of it. The tour lasted 3 hours so we were pretty comfortable on them by the end! Santa Barbara is just beautiful and we had perfect weather!
