Most if not All Aboard!

We weren't sure that out annual outing to the Botanic Gardens was going to happen this year, as the initial email we received from them described some alternative programming which coincided with Owen's DCYO concert and was decidedly not an evening holiday train viewing party (nothing against making terrarium ornaments, but that is not why we joined Friends & Family of the Botanic Gardens). But the programming options were eventually clarified, and while in the end Grandpa, Mom Mom and Grandpa Don all decided that they were maxed out on holiday celebrations for the day, we were able to meet up with the Romans and enjoy plant-based recreations of iconic train stations from across the United States... and  cocktails.
