Trip with Thomas to the New York Botanical Garden
I went to see the annual Holiday Train Show with my family for the first time two years ago. The conservatory was under construction, and the show was in a tent built for housing it. We were impressed by its beauty and extremely impressive craftsmanship.
This year it is back in the conservatory again, and it is even more impressive! It is also the show's 30th anniversary. There are more than 175 of the city's iconic historical buildings and bridges displayed between the plants. They are created using natural materials from the garden. The model trains and trolleys are bustling and whistling on tracks between buildings and across the bridges. Every year the creators add new buildings to the exhibition. It is quite spectacular!
I took my camera and Thomas. It was a little crowded and difficult to take pictures with the doll and camera, but I managed to take a few good ones. Also, it was funny how many people talked to me during this trip because I had a doll in my arms. Some thought it was a baby, some said they had this doll in their childhood and it is somewhere in the basement. Some were interested to see how the pictures with the doll came out. And I am almost certain I saw someone secretly taking pictures of me taking pictures of the doll! I guess we attracted a lot of attention :)
