Visiting Hillwood

Today, our happy household went to Hillwood, the palatial estate of Mrs Marjorie Merriweather Post, heiress of the General Foods conglomerate, in central Washington DC. I've never been to the estate although the DC Lambda Squares has been invited to demonstrate square dancing there on several occasions (Mrs Post was a big fan of square dancing).

It was perfect weather and while the buildings and their contents were fascinating, I definitely took more photos of the flower gardens than anything else. (The fact that we weren't allowed to take photos inside the residential buildings also was a factor.)

While there were huge crowds, the eye candy was slight at best. Still, if you're interested, ( there were a small handful which caught my eye/lens... )
