We live about 1/2 mile away from the Bloedel Reserve, a beautiful, 150 acre nature preserve and garden, and have only visited 3 times in the 10 years we've lived so close. That's about to change! We bought a one year membership and have now gone twice in the past two weeks. The first time (December 30th) we brought Brandon, Ashley, and Jane, and Ben's friend, Harrison, to see the "Gingerbread Village" and train display.
It wasn't quite as elaborate as I hoped it would be, but it was still fun to look into all the detailed, decorated rooms. We walked around the grounds for a while after viewing the display, but didn't have enough time to go on all the trails.
Jillian really wanted to go back and spend more time, so when last Saturday ended up not being snowy or rainy, she and I returned. I promised her we would walk through the whole grounds this time. We had a great time together. For anyone who thinks a walk through a winter garden would be dull, think again!
We are going to try to visit every month and take our picture in this same spot to see the changes.
