I wish you could have seen the Christmas decorations there and in the town! A chef I talked to was estimating the cost of the decorations at a quarter of a million. There was a decorated tree in the atrium that was so huge I cannot describe it and others outside the hotels that were very huge. A huge gingerbread house display was great too. The convention food was a good as I would expect in such a great place too. <br />You would not believe what it looked like before the reconstruction. We were there one time and my husband crawled inside and there were ground hog mounds inside that had destroyed a lot of the Italian marble tiny floor tiles that is why some of it is carpeted. Mr Cook did a wonderful thing in using his money for the restoration. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04899177125372996519noreply@blogger.com
