d Forsythe Celebrates the Holidays!

What a wonderful place to celebrate Christmas! We have an amazing blend of traditions, being right next door to the oldest large wooden hotel in the US (122 years old), Hotel Del Coronado. Each year they decorate not only the interior, but the entire exterior is also outlined in white lights.

It's magical driving across the bridge to the island and seeing this fairly land reflected in the bay. The tree has a different theme each year, this year it's Santas. It stands over30 feet high and is decorated with over 2,000 ornaments.

By the way, the very first electrically lite Christmas tree was engineered by Thomas Edison himself right here on the grounds of "The Del"!
