Pretty Pasadena

Rose Gardens, Palm Trees and Chewing Gum

Wrigley Mansion in Pasadena
Where to go for a change of pace from Midwest lakes and woodlands? To Pasadena, apparently, if the name is Wrigley. Before arriving, I had no clue that this bucolic town northeast of LA had an Illinois connection. The Tournament of Roses organization is currently housed in what was the Wrigley's winter home.

 Lovely page Katja! I have wondered how the Saga was. On my list of possibilities for next years visit. :) Got to plan ahead. Hello from Washougal. =^oo^= Joyce

 Pasadena is a lovely place to visit, I may head here next week while I'm in LA :-)

 Glad to hear they have resurrected their downtown district. Pasadena at the moment looks like quite a contrast to snowy Frankfurt. (Yes, thanks, our Glühwein meeting in Karlsruhe was a great success.)

 This place looks so much nicer than Los Angeles! Great tips!
