4 Things to do in Downtown Riverside

1. Check-out the Mission Inn without Checking-in

If you are in Downtown Riverside, this monastery, museum, turned into a fine hotel, would be a first choice to explore. So much history in the architecture and a lot of famous people like President Theodore Roosevelt, Richard Nixon, and celebrities has visited the Mission Inn Hotel & Spa

Every year I come here to see the Annual Festival of Lights, almost the entire place will be illuminated with holiday lights and decorations. The festival officially begins right after Thanksgiving Day, will run for five weeks until the first week of the New Year.  Its been part of my Christmas holiday tradition.





2. Go Antiquing

There's a lot of Antique shops around the area but the Mission Galleria is a favorite. Massive collection of antiques, clothes, and whatever. You can spend the entire day antiquing with four floors filled with whachamacallit.

3. Eat.

Lots of places and choices to dine. My preference on that day was chicken satay and thai tea at the Elephant Thai Cuisine. If you're into asian food, you might want to check the reviews first or just try it out. They serve vegan, has a patio, nice staff, price friendly, food is good to my liking and ambiance is so...asian :-)



4. Take a selfie.

There is  more to life than our careers and jobs.

Go out, have fun, explore. Life is short.

Take lots of pictures, create memories.

Its your camera, do whatever you want, its your life.
