Coronado is starting to get that Holiday feel. Driving over the Coronado Bay Bridge the other night I was able to see the Hotel Del Coronado all lit up!
It is hard to miss 60,000 bulbs illuminating every facet of the Victorian resort. A memorable event [at the Del], is the tree Lighting ceremony, slated this year for December 3. The main foyer is graced by a 25-foot tree, whose sturdy branches, strung with some 15,000 lights, cradle a profusion of ornaments. The tree is themed and the theme changes each year. I wonder what this year’s theme will be? Elsewhere, almost every inch of the resort is robed in evergreen garlands, trimmed with crimson ribbon, and interwoven with strands of lights. There is no place like Coronado for the holidays!
