On Friday December 22nd we had plans to tour the Capital building and watch the Washington Capitals play hockey. We had a few hours to kill before our tour of the Capital began and this was the day that it rain all day so we decided to spend a few hours in the United States Botanic Garden not far from the Capital building. It was a warm and dry place to walk around, not to mention the Garden was rather interesting.
These two photos are of the model trains that they had setup throughout the gardens. It was really neat being able to view them and it made you feel like a kid again watching all of the trains.
This photo was taken in the children's section of the garden. They have these fake flowers setup for you to smell, each with a different scent. The "flowers" are filled with things such as thyme, oregano, garlic, vanilla, and cinnamon. So here's Jim sniffing one of these flowers. It's actually a very cute idea...
The following photos are all replicas of the different DC monuments and buildings. I overheard several people say that these were made with the different stuff found inside the garden. They are all spectacular and awesome to look at, certainly the highlight of the gardens.
