Wed Dec 27, 2006 National Botanical Garden Conservatory

We arrive at the National Botanical Gardens Conservatory.

Outside is a cool model train display which is setup only for Christmas. I should have taken a photo of the whole display.

A trestle made of tree branches connects two sections like the one above. You can even walk beneath this small bridge.

Inside is a small village based on fairy tales. It completes complete with... you guessed it. Model trains.

Can you find the home of the Old Lady who lived in a shoe? It always looked like a boot to me.




A Christmas tree was also on display, but the cool thing were these miniature buildings made of branches.

The Lincoln Memorial


The National Botanical Gardens Conservatory


The Capitol


The Library of Congress


I would have loved to stay longer, but it's time to get moving. We pass the Smithsonian Castle which has a carousel in front.
