We all had one delightful day at Marjorie Merriweather Post’s Hillwood Estates! The gardens were lovely and we were so glad that the garden tour was in the morning as it did get a bit warm. We then enjoyed a delicious “tea” with all those yummy tea sandwiches and petit fours. It was such an informative tour of her mansion following lunch.
