This
past
Sunday
was
the
first
time
we
visited
the
Governor's
Residence.
On
a
special
occasion
of
course
--
the
Annual
Holiday
Open
House!
You
see,
normally
the
GR
is
only
open
for
tours
during
the
months
of
April,
May,
June,
September,
and
October
between
the
hours
of
9:30
am
and
2:00
pm.
I
don't
think
anyone
would
take
a
day
off
from
work
just
to
go
on
the
tour,
do
you?
So
this
was
a
golden
opportunity
that
we
didn't
want
to
miss.
Now
it
was
for
the
Christmas
holidays
so
it
was
even
more
the
reason
to
visit.
There
were
a
total
of
8
Christmas
trees
inside
the
GR!
Garlands
and
ornaments
were
everywhere.
Santa
Claus
was
there
for
picture
taking.
The
Christmas
village
and
the
3
trains
that
were
running
on
the
tracks
--
so
fascinating!
There
were
free
hot
ciders,
hot
chocolate,
and
cookies.
All
of
the
staff
were
out
greeting
people
and
answering
questions.
Choir
was
singing
Christmas
Carols
and
the
pianist
was
playing
funky
tunes.
Governor
Wolf
and
his
First
Lady,
Frances
were
there
shaking
hands
with
visitors
and
posing
for
photos.
And
most
of
all,
the
mansion
itself
was
simply
amazing,
as
ornate
as
a
residence
can
be!
We
were
fortunate
to
be
part
of
this
occasion
on
our
first
visit.
We
had
such
fond
memories
of
the
time
we
spent
there.
