3 Replies

Ok, so I had been slacking as usual in this blog. I know it’s not an excuse not to update our travels, but I was just too lazy lately and got other things to tend to.

Anyway, you might thought I am done sharing our Winter Holiday experience in Longwood. Well, not quite! Lol. I promised this is gonna be the last of Longwood post, for now! I mean, I couldn’t get enough with this place. I have tons of photos, and I coudn’t help myself to take lots of photos every time, and it’s always different. But I know this is a late post so let me share you this before it will become super late. he he he.

Here goes….

I would like to share to you, the fountain show in Longwood Gardens. The most awaited Winter Holiday Fountain show ever. Because it happens at night time, when it get dark already, to see the colorful lights that they installed. Here are some of my photos and a short Video I took.

It was already late when my kids and I left Longwood that time. And I have to drive 2hours to get home. It was worth waiting for the show, because it was beautiful and we really enjoyed it. I think it lasted for 15minutes, I am not sure though. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed watching my short video. See yah in my next post!

Hello to all my readers! How are you today? You’re probably anticipating my next post about the Winter Holidays in Longwood Gardens. Ss what I’ve promised in my previous post, I’m gonna share to you this time is about the 64ft Long Table of Pierre du Pont, that was set up inside the Conservatory in the exhibition hall.

photo IMG_0565_zpsb7afcef1.jpgThis was the longest dining table that my kids and I ever saw. There were 48 chairs set up awaiting for the special guest. I am not sure if there will be a real dining that was going to happen that day, but it sure was beautiful and breath taking to look at. The staff really did an amazing job in decorating this table, it was like the center of attention of all visitors. It was really beautiful.

In my previous post, I wrote about our Holiday Trip to Longwood Gardens. To those who haven’t read it, it’s in this Link, and this Link. I promised that I will post some photos of Longwood Gardens at Night. Well, here they are..PhotobucketPhoto above is from outside the Conservatory. All the trees and pine trees were decorated with Christmas lights.

I love this photo above. This building is part of the Conservatory where you will find some exotic cactus. As you can see, they decorated the glass ceiling with stars. It’s probably amazing inside.

Ane below is the Fountain Area, overlooking from the Conservatory. They decorated it with Christmas lights.

And here is the close up look of the Fountain in the middle. Isn’t it pretty?The lights make it look like water running from it due to its synchronous blinking.

This photo above is the pathway that goes at the back of the Garden. It is lighted with this cute lamp post. In my previous post, I posted a photo of this in Daylight.

And below is the pathway when you enter Longwood Gardens. People were really enjoying the sight! My kids love it as well.

And this photo above was the favorite of all. It’s a giant Christmas Tree that is located by the pathway. During day time, this tree look so dull and you will hardly notice, but when the sun set at the Horizon, this amazing tree lights up the whole Garden. It was amazing. If you look closely at the pic, you will see a boy standing next to it, that’s how tall this Live Christmas Tree is!

I hope you like my share this week! My next post would be the Display Inside of the Conservatory. Have a good one guys!
