Then we went to Longwood Gardens, which has a big, stunning orchid extravaganza throughout the conservatory, though before we went to see it, we walked through the hillside garden past the chimes tower to see the snowdrops and winter aconite blooming there, and afterward we stopped at the Pierce du Pont House on the way to meadow, the lake, and the Italian Water Garden. We drove home under a gorgeous sunset and spectacular twilight, ate sandwiches for dinner, and watched some ice skating and Runaways before SNL.
