With the kids out of school, we are always looking for something to do. This year we made it a point to go out every night and look for the best Christmas lights in South Orange County. The tradition of Christmas Lights dates back to the middle of the 17th century in Germany. Over the next two centuries the magic of Christmas Lights spread through Eastern Europe then to the rest of the world. Candles were originally used, followed by lanterns and then on to electricity. In 1882 Edward Johnson lit a Christmas tree in New York City by creating the first string of electric Christmas Lights. In Just 20 years department stores began using Christmas Lights for their holiday displays.
Our team just listed a gorgeous, remodeled pool home in gated neighborhood of Sycamore Creek, Lake Forest. If you were waiting for that ooportunity, of a home with a great backyard that has room for entertainment, a nice sized pool and a hot tub, this is it. And all priced at $449,000.
Dana Point Harbor will host its annual holiday boat parades! Dana Point will feature a steady flow of lighted boats on the water -- some with simple and classic decorations and others with extravagant holiday scenes played out on their decks.
For many years, South County beach cities residents have talked about having a open area at the beach where dogs can run freely and if the city of San Clemente approves it, there would be an beach area that would let dogs run unleashed at a designated acre at North Beach from 4 to 9am daily. This is the area that is right in front of the parking lot that follows the North Beach trail, where dogs are allowed, but only on leash, and not on the sand. This would be as a one year test and will be discussed this following Tuesday.
past weekend, we visited the community when they were holding their annual Tree Lightning. What a blast!
