点评:I took the Twilight Christmas Tour at Boscobel this weekend and it was excellent! What a nice tour. I was able to tour the grounds before the tour and get some beautiful pictures of the house and grounds. The home's location on the Hudson River was one of the best I have ever seen. The views were fantastic.
The inside of the house was decorated for Christmas as if the family would be entertaining guests for Christmas dinner and the bedrooms and Grand Hall were decorated for entertaining. Here and there were touches of a Federalist Christmas so things were not as elaborate as they would have been during Victorian times. It was garland and fruits all over the place and bright lights of candles (electric of course) and a simple table tree with small gifts underneath. The Dining Room table was set for Christmas lunch which would have been served after church services.
The outside of the house was decorated with white lights along with the gardens and orchards. It was spectacular in appearance after dark Then when we returned from the tour, they had Hot Chocolate, Hot Cider, Christmas cookies, candy and sweets for us in the Visitors Center as part of the tour package. It was a nice touch and the whole tour was $25.00. That was a very fair price for this wonderful evening experience of the home during the holidays.
翻译:这个周末我参加了博斯科贝尔的暮光圣诞之旅,非常棒!多么美好的一次旅行啊。我能够在参观之前参观场地并拍摄一些房子和场地的美丽照片。这所房子位于哈德逊河上的位置是我见过的最好的位置之一。景色非常棒。
房子的内部装饰得像圣诞节一样,就像家人要招待客人吃圣诞晚餐一样,卧室和大厅也装饰得适合招待客人。到处都有联邦党圣诞节的痕迹,所以事情不像维多利亚时代那么复杂。到处都是花环和水果,还有明亮的蜡烛灯(当然是电的)和一棵简单的桌树,下面有小礼物。餐桌上摆好了圣诞节午餐,该午餐将在教堂仪式结束后供应。
房子的外面以及花园和果园都装饰着白色的灯光。天黑后的景色非常壮观。当我们旅游回来时,他们在游客中心为我们准备了热巧克力、热苹果酒、圣诞饼干、糖果和糖果,作为旅游套餐的一部分。感觉很不错,整个旅行花费了 25 美元。对于假期期间在家里度过的美好夜晚体验来说,这是一个非常公平的价格。
