After living in Bristol for over a year there are still so many places that we haven't explored, so we decided to take my parents along to the Blithewold Mansion down the road from downtown Bristol. We explored the house which had many interesting features including the "telephone room" and a wall-mounted intercom, but the gardens and grounds are really where this place shines. We walked over the sweeping lawn through a forest of tall redwoods and sequoia trees and a beautiful pond with lily pads and blossoming flowers everywhere. We explored along the coast and through a forest of bamboo where the stalks blot out the light with a canopy of dark green. We are happy to know that the grounds are free to walk around, so I will plan to come back on a nice day with some paper and paints!
