Wow, all I can say it's what one might do if you were a billionaire, and had the vision to know what diplomats and people of high order need to relax and get together in a place to great things. I can not express enough my true admiration for their work and legacy!!!! If you can take the home tour as it really shows the love for this unique place and is loving guided by a very knowledgeable staff!!!

The photography exhibit was good but the grounds were wonderful. The plantings, waterfall and statues made for a lively walk through the garden. A truly enjoyable time!
