National Botanic Gardens

The Holiday Magic exhibit at the U.S. Botanic Gardens is really impressive, with a huge holiday tree, replicas of national monuments and buildings made of plant parts, and train sets running through fanciful villages also all made of plant parts. The detail is amazing to see, and the kids loved watching the trains motor past villages of fairies, gypsies, and other characters from children's stories. It was so much fun, we went twice!

And then back at home to his wild and crazy ways...
