Goes all around the world in just a day

So we're busy with a pinball tournament today. Let me give the rest of the Bronner's 2017 pictures for you to enjoy.

There's also Beatles ornaments like these, although they get into less variety than I would have imagined. Possibly there's license hassles making them, or importing them to the United States.


SAM_2060.jpg

If the Beatles aren't your thing, how about decorating your tree with bees? Bees with the look of 1930s cartoon humans, I'd say.

We spent a lot of time trying to find the dragons, which were scarcer on the ground than you'd think. Finally we got to these glass dragons, which were great to see.


SAM_2074.jpg

But here, finally, the section labelled Dragons and Knights, featuring ... flying saucers with aliens in them? Anyway, the glass dragons we saw were not in here.


SAM_2077.jpg

Ah, there we go, some ... dragons and aliens. There's probably a knight around somewhere. Aliens can be knights, right?

bunny_hugger wondering why I can't get a better picture of her at the welcome wreath. Well, I wasn't paying enough attention to where her pupils were relative to the line at top of her glasses, is why.

The gold-leaf angels again, more visible in the night.


SAM_2099.jpg

A pyramid offering rough directions and distances to various attractions, including Michigan State University, the Grand Canyon, beloved Pogo character P T Bridgeport, Disneyland, and Bronner's parking lot.

One of the animated lights displays, this of a penguin falling off an igloo. We see this one on the holiday train at Crossroad village, too, but can't take a remotely good picture of it because we're on the holiday train when we see it.

bunny_hugger, action Santa photographer!


SAM_2110.jpg

Another animated light display, as we see at Crossroads Village, this of a snowman blowing sparkles onto a tree.


SAM_2114.jpg

A not-animated, I think, display of an elf hanging ornaments. This one is not at Crossroads Village, I believe.


SAM_2121.jpg

And somehow my lone interesting picture from in town (where, to be fair, we didn't spend much time): the dragon-ish door handles for the underground of the Bavarian Inn.
