On a cold day in January, we were supposed to head off to  visit a tropical locale, Seattle's Volunteer Park Conservatory.  Afterwards, we had planned on having lunch at the famous  Volunteer Park Café. Mother Nature however, had different  plans, instead of visiting the conservatory, we had to postpone thisouting due to snow. 
We are working with our volunteer trip drivers to  reschedule for those of you who have already paid to go.  We still have a few unfilled seats if you’d like to join us. 
The historic Volunteer Park Conservatory is made up of  3,426 glass panes fit into a wood and iron framework. This Victorian-style greenhouse structure is modeled on  London's famous Crystal Palace. After enjoying the displays and lunching together, we’ll return home via a scenic route  thru the Washington Park Arboretum and over the  Evergreen Point floating bridge. Conservatory fee about $5.
