Lights at Lewis Ginter

We look forward to seeing the lights and displays in the library.  The grand girls love it too.

It's always something different to see every year.

The spot lighting of the trees - very pretty

Conservatory

The large tree inside is loaded with flowers

Before we head off to the library for Christmas music and a look around at dollhouses.  A bit of food at the cafe.  Steve and I both love the Crab bisque soup and Genevieve does too.  She wanted chili tonight.  Adalyn just wanted yogurt and Southern Caviar (pimento spread) on crackers.

Library and the area where the Christmas music was played.

This is a closer look at the tree in the area of the library where there is more quiet and comfy chairs to sit a spell.

Inside were decorated doll houses

a glimpse inside

I was amazed at the tiny details like the parquet floor and mantles

I like also the way it is an old manse with signs of wear like the ceiling with the peeling paint.  The drapes at the windows.

 so much more but there was plexiglass to protect and hard to get a good picture without some glare.

More for later
