The Two RV Gypsies: Full-Time RVers
enjoyed Christmas Lights
at Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden
in Belmont, North Carolina
December 8, 2021

Although the two RV Gypsies were also at the Christmas Light display here in 2018, most photos are different from that year. A link to the light display of 2018, plus Daniel Stowe Garden links are at the bottom of this page.

Below: The entry into the building, and a giant Christmas tree inside the building. It does cost to enter. There are also rest rooms inside and a gift shop.

Below: Two close-up photos of some of the flowers on the tree shown above.

Below. While in the entry way to the building, Karen Duquette took a photo looking up at the ceiling and a photo looking down at the floor.

Below: Walkways into the gardens

Below: This is the third time that the two RV Gypsies have seen a big twig maze by Patrick Dougherty. The first time was in Dayton, Ohio, September 2013. The second time was in Annapolis, Maryland in June 2021 and now here in North Carolina. Each time, the size and design was a bit different. This was the smallest of the displays.

Below: Patrick Dougherty's twig maze had lights with changing colors shining on his art.

of the Christmas Lights behind her.

Below: This area had the lights flashing and changing colors to the beat of Christmas music. The two RV Gypsies sat and enjoyed the show.

During this entire walk, the two RV Gypsies had 3-D glasses that they would occasionally stop and put on. The effect was amazing. Obviously it would have been dangerous to walk with the 3-D glasses on. Below are two photos taken through the 3-D glasses.

Below: When the two RV Gypsies were here in 2018 for the Christmas Light Display, Mrs. Claus was in this area and she was reading stories to the children. There was also a small train and village display. But due to the Coronavirus, there was no Mrs. Claus here this year. However, the train and village display was much bigger, and much more amazing. These are only a few of the sections of the display.

Below: Leaving the Christmas Display, Karen Duquette noticed a van parked and the lights from a nearby tree were reflecting on the side of the van.

Below: Then the two RV Gypsies stopped for a bite to eat. It was almost closing time for the restaurant, so not many people were inside. The food was okay, but nothing special.

Each section is different.
