US Botanic Garden Train Display

 Alex, Celia, Everett, Abby and Sammy at the Botanic Garden train display.



 There were detailed, little fairy "houses" carved into nooks in these trees.

At the suggestion of friends, we took the kids to see the model train display at the US Botanic Gardens in DC.  The entire train display is made of real plant materials and is quite impressive.  This is a very popular spot so be prepared to wait in line for a little bit.  There are beautiful replicas of many DC buildings, also made out of plant materials, placed throughout the gardens.  The kids got a kick out of exploring the plants and trees, watching the trains navigate the fairy displays, and being in the city in general.  We stopped over at the Air and Space museum across the street as well for a bit.
