The United States Botanical Garden has an annual holiday exhibit that consists of fantasy model trains running through, by, and over various bridges, tunnels, and model structures. They also have models of numerous DC structures and buildings. All the models except the trains are made of natural materials and are built with amazing detail. They are simply gorgeous and the use of natural material is just genius. The model train exhibit also smells wonderful due to all the cedar in the room. Definitely worth the visit.

Can’t believe you went back. Did you have to wait in line?
We met tonight at St. John’s. You might find interesting my Botanical Gardens images from last year. You can find them on Flickr at Botanical Garden, November 18, 2012 and Botanical Garden, November 22, 2012. My general Flickr site can be found at Chuck Divine. I will warn you, though, that there are over 40,000 images there.
