Christmas Time at the Mission Inn

The week before Christmas we went to view the historic Mission Inn in downtown Riverside with Jeff, Michelle, and Tenley. I had heard that their Christmas light display is beyond amazing and that they start putting up the thousands of lights and decorations at the end of October.

After dining at Spaghetti Factory and managing to find a parking spot downtown, we walked around the block looking at the lights and various animated figures that the hotel sets up. Jaxon and Tenley took in the ice skating rink and Auntie Michelle found a vendor that sold these neat, twirly, psychadelic, light up toys. The kids loved them, despite making us parents temporarily blind.


Needless to say, we all had a good time getting into the holiday spirit. If you are ever visiting the area at Christmas, head down to the Mission Inn to see this awesome display.
