Longwood Gardens

One day after Christmas we went to Longwood Gardens. If you haven't been there before, you should go if you're ever in the Philly area. I love the Gardens in any season, and they always have something new each time, so it never gets boring. Harland and I took a lot of pictures, but I had to only select a few to show here.

Here is my mom and me in front of the DuPonts' house.


These pictures are all from the biggest building on the grounds.
The orchid room is my favorite room. I love orchids, and I miss mine that I had in Florida.


Here are my darling parents!


Some bonzai!


Here is me and a little wooden friend in their treehouse. He was wearing his very own scarf, I'm not loaning him one.

At night they had the fountains lit up and they were changing to some beautiful Christmas Carols and some classical music.




They decorated the topiary...



And of course, they also use Christmas lights to light up a lot of trees (over 70% are led lights!).
