Christmas at the Mission

The Mission Inn in downtown Riverside is a newly restored historical landmark. Every year they decorate for the holidays and it is just so beautiful.

My pictures however, could use a little help. I don't know what the heck this is.
All of the palm trees are decorated with hundreds of lights.
This was so cute! It was a little Cinderella type carriage drawn by real horses.
It had beautiful little tiny lights all over. It doesn't photo well. Or is it just me?
Again with the carriage. But really really cute.
See the horse? See him?
Useless! It is useless to photograph all these lights in the dark!
All along the Mission Inn.
And all along the path they had these elves.

More elves
And another elf.
And. . . That's enough with the elves.
Beautifully decorated trees.
This guy sang and spun around. Very hard to get this pic as he was moving so much.

Here he is again. Moving
A Santa
You know, these elves are kind of creepy.

In the courtyard.
The lights were amazing.
And again with the palm trees. So beautiful!
These guys guarded the entrance and moved.
A little scary.
More lights
More palm trees

The streets were lined with so many lights.

Truly truly a beautiful way to enjoy the holiday.
And BH, I honestly don't know how he does this. I think he may have even tapped this guy.
