Trip to Winterthur and Longwood

Docent Tour
Originally uploaded by Troy Smythe.

John and I took a vacation to the Brandywine River Valley (close to Philadelphia) to gawk at Winterthur Estate and Longwood Gardens. The photo is us on a guided tour at Winterthur. The tour guide reprimanded me for lagging behind to take pictures. Despite being bossed around, it was not a bad tour. And in her defense, I am a slow photographer. If you are at all interested in gardens or furniture, this is a trip you must make. Winterthur is a decorative arts and design mecca, and Longwood is the same for garden geeks.
