Longwood Gardens

We visited the DuPont Estate of Longwood Gardens last fall and wanted to see it during spring bloom.  While there were less flowers than we expected those we saw were lovely as shown by these peonies.




We also went for the fountains.  Three times a day they shoot up and cascade down presenting a delightful show.
Art takes many forms as even this installation that was made of an assortment of colored snap ties shows.
Plants can also make art as Bennett observed.
 In the Conservatory, where last time we saw a huge mum display, Bennett was entertained by flower and animal water spouts in an area specially designed for children of all ages. 


He even helped brush the dragon’s teeth. 
By the time he was done, he was happily soaked.  Wisely, Cheryl dressed him in swim trunks.

We all worked up a healthy appetite and were eager to again meet up with Bob and Barbara for dinner for a return visit to Victory Brewing Company.  Unlike California where children are not allowed in drinking establishments, this place was filled with families and resounded with clamor.  The beer is very good and as is the food.  We even managed to converse.
