For those of you not from the Philadelphia area, Longwood Gardens is a gorgeous horticultural showplace. There is currently an amazing Christmas display and outdoor ice skating there, which I attended last weekend with my girlfriend. After some hellish traffic and parking along a dirt field in the middle of Nowhere, USA, we were taken across the highway on a packed shuttle bus to start our adventure. Despite the cold weather, thousands of people were there to tour the grounds and people were generally in great spirits and happy to be there.

Here’s some pictures of our experience:

Here are some videos also from Longwood:

If you’re interested in going (or just learning more about Longwood), check out their website. Their fountains look especially amazing and worth going to see on a nice fall or spring day if you can’t make it out for their Christmas spectacular.
