It was beautiful fall weather here...finally open windows!

here are gifs and stills of it



this is actually one of the two small fountains on the sides...you can see them on the gif right below here



they do fireworks sometimes too with the fountain show



the lily pads are so lovely too



every year they do this 1,000 bloom chrysanthemum ....we sat with a guy and his wife who volunteers with that...we enjoyed their company while eating dinner and drinking beer with the ump pa pa band they work every day to tweak this thing...it is one plant there are around 800 volunteers....they lit the luminaries......25 pps ran around lighting zillions of candles...if I live around here when I get done with little grandkids I'd like to be one of the volunteers...it would be so fun!



there are always tons of foreigners there...it is something on the list of things to see on the east coast area....ok now you have seen a tiny bit but I'm sure more than you needed to
