Another great day in the city! The Isabella Stuart Gardner Museum was overflowing with great paintings, tapestries, furnishings, and objects d'art. A docent gave us a fascinating-but-not-too-long talk about Isabella's life and how it related to the museum when it was being built. The indoor garden is spectacular and that alone is worth the trip. We loved that ALL the plants were in concealed pots, so they can be cha
nged out seasonally. There is a greenhouse on the property where they raise and maintain all the plants. We loved the Cape Primrose. Pam obeyed the rule about no photography anywhere inside, but 
there are photos of backsides and outsides here on our share site at shutterfly http://bookit.shutterfly.com/269. Next time Betty-Jo wants to be the lead car so she does not have to go through so many red lights to keep up. A late lunch on the deck at the Hoosic (thanks, Dave!) was the perfect ending to a great day for Pam, Ann, Mary, Carol, and Betty-Jo.Favorite Idea - white flowering tree - doesanybodyknowthename?
