A spontaneous family outing while visiting auntie Nargis in Long Island last weekend..We stopped the car upon setting our eyes on this amazing gated estate!
According to the Vanderbilt Museum website, this is what they are about:
"The Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum — a unique combination of mansion, marine and natural history museum, planetarium and park..Exhibition and program themes focus upon Long Island's Gold Coast Era and upon William K. Vanderbilt II's desire that his marine, natural history, and ethnographic collections promote appreciation and understanding of the marvelous diversity of life, other cultures, and scientific knowledge."
Here we are entering the grounds..Papa Abe, Mama Gisela, baby Camila on mom, older brother Jacob on hands and lil' man Izak in stroller..
Spanish-influenced architecture
Serious doorknocker
Head mounts, part of William K. Vanderbilt's museum of natural history..
The breakfast auntie Nargis prepared for us that morning..yummy!
