While looking for what's happening while we're in town, I found this really awesome Pacific Grove Chamber sponsored event. For two nights, we strolled the streets, getting a glimpse into the Victorian-era inns in all their historic splendor.

We began at Asilomar Hotel & Conference Center with a ranger-led tour of some of its buildings. This unique place was designed by famed architect Julia Morgan. Miss Morgan, the first licensed female in the male dominated field, worked on this YWCA Leadership Camp from 1913 to 1928. Known as Monterey Peninsula's "Refuge by the Sea," the state park is located on 107 acres of state beach and conference grounds, within the quaint and scenic town of Pacific Grove. It is celebrated for its restored dune ecosystem and architectural significance, with cozy, historic structures.
We also came for the hot cider, a handbell concert and its festive decorations.

Each of the Inns were showcasing their holiday spirit as well as their amenities.
There was just something about these framed gloves that tickled me... fingers crossed?


Each location provided treats, Christmas Carols and Santa, who made his way to each place, making us all happy.
