NYBG Train Show

Grandma Susan was able to get us into the annual Holiday Train Show at the New York Botanical Garden.  It was a spectacular evening for patrons.  The event was no where near as crowded as it was when we went a few years ago, and there were carolers, hors d'oeuvres, hot chocolate, cider, wine, weaving activities, and lots of time to enjoy the amazing natural creations.  The event was held after hours, and so when we arrived at the entrance gate we got to ride on a golf cart directly to the observatory (I suppose to avoid guests wandering the grounds).  It was a wonderful time!
