Christmas 2021 At The Mission Inn, Riverside

"A merry Christmas to everybody! A happy New Year to all the world!" -- Charles Dickens

Traditions Continue

We went to the Mission Inn via Robin and Bob's home this afternoon. The weather was a bit wet and certainly cold but we had a great time.

We boogied down the 91 to Corona at 3:00 PM arriving at Robin and Bob's place at 3:30 PM. We visited them and did pictures by the trees/ Oh, we did have a glass of wine to get into the mood!

The girls reviewed the new ornaments on the tree and we saw the Space Shuttle which we got them at Roger's Gardens.

We walked toward the main street but alas, many stores were closed and the vendors were not out in full force.
