Day 13: A Garden Of Epic Proportions

Ben's Blog: Day 13
This is getting ridiculous. I've got to keep up with this thing better. Two days is unacceptable. Although I have a valid reason for not writing Day 13 the night of.

Today we went to Longwood Gardens. Oh my... Never have a seen such a beautiful place. There were plants everywhere, in every shape, size, and variety one can imagine. There were tall plants, there were short plants, there were plants that hung from the ceiling (man, I hate the word ceiling. It's impossible to spell right) there were plants that ate insects. I could go on and on for days. And then there were the fountains... My description could never do the place justice. Here's the official website if you're interested: http://www.longwoodgardens.org/

I wish I had a camera attached to my eyeballs so I could show you the place. It was freaking incredible. I wish I'd brought my friend Daniel, because he would probably... well, I don't even know what he would do. Something extreme. The boy loves plants.

Anyway, I feel like my tone of utmost amazement is getting rather tawdry, so I'll just finish it up with: "OHMYGOODNESSITWASABSOLUTELYAMAZINGWITHOUTADOUBTTHECOOLESTPLACEI'VESEENONTHISTRIPOHMY!"

[Insert long breath here.]

And then there was the "Lights" exhibit. So many fiber optics and such. It was pure beauty. (Ugh. I'm starting to sound poetic. Better stop that.) We stayed until around 11:00, but I wish we could have stayed longer. It was that cool.

OH! There was also this... I can't think of any other way to describe it than 'gorgeous', piano. My fingers were itching terribly to play it. In addition there was a pipe organ, which kind of made me weak in the knees. Both were splendid instruments.

[Truthful Interjection #15: I'm a bit of an enthusiast for keyboard based instruments, from pianos to pipe organs, and marimbas to all forms of mallet instruments. Yes, I know a marimba counts as a mallet instrument, I just wanted to force the alliteration.]

By the time we got back, I was so tired that I fell asleep almost instantly. That's all for Day 13.
