From Folklore To
Modern Day Fairytale
O U R S U M M E R AT T H E D E L

My grandmother once told me that the best
experiences are the ones shared with those
you love. She instilled in me that family
time was the best time, and wanted me to
experience the kind of closeness that only
a lifetime among family can bring. In my
journey of motherhood, every single moment
has been inspired by my grandmother Lucy.
This summer, I was invited to experience The
Club At The Del. And just like grandmother
Lucy, I too, am cultivating a culture of family
togetherness. We are all living our own
‘once upon a time’ and I couldn’t be happier
that The Del has become part of ours. With
every visit as a Club Member, whether it’s
for the day, an exclusive member event or a
weekend staycation, I am taken aback by its
history, steeped in traditions of the American
Dream.
When I fi rst saw the hotel in the Marilyn
Monroe classic, Some Like It Hot, I was
immediately captivated by its beauty. Now, I
relish in the daydreams of my younger years,
as we get to call this storied seaside resort
our home away from home. The colorful tales
of years past can be felt the minute you
set foot on property. I’ve never experienced
anything quite like the Hotel Del Coronado.
Within this historic Victorian retreat, our
family’s chapters are becoming grand
memories in the making.
