all aboard

We went to see the holiday train show at the New York Botanical Garden in Bronx. We really enjoyed this 150 miniaturized five borough landmarks (including the Statue of Liberty, Grand Central Terminal, St. Patrick's Cathedral, and the Bronx's own Yankee Stadium) that are brilliantly recreated entirely from natural materials like twigs, seeds, tree bark, and berries. More than a dozen model trains, from late-1800s steam engines to modern high-speed passenger trains, make their way throughout the recreated landscape. The kids were busy pointing different trains and buildings. Amazing.
