11/22: Ice Skating & Car Envy(ing)

Outdoor skating rinks pop up much like gas-price spikes: right around Thanksgiving.

This one, in Monterey, is at the Portola Plaza Hotel and is open from 10a-10p (so layer yourself).

"Celebrate the holidays amidst the scenic coastline at Monterey on Ice’s seasonal ice skating rink located in Custom House Plaza behind Portola Hotel & Spa. Skaters can spend the day in a winter wonderland right by the Bay."

Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for children.
