点评:Every year my sister and I make a trip to Oglebay to see their Christmas decorations at the Lodge and the Mansion Museum. This year was such a disappointment! The Mansion was lovely and a big improvement over last year's decorations. BUT I'm not sure what was going on at the Lodge! Some sections were as beautiful as ever (the Hickman lounge and the breezeway plant beds and the poinsettia tree). But the reception area looked like it was only half done and the hallway off to the left of reception didn't have a single decoration. The bridge looked sad with only wreaths hanging up and the breezeway had the most pathetic little "Charlie Brown" Christmas trees that I have ever seen.
It made me wonder if the Park spent too much money on all the renovations and didn't have any left for decorating!
We are hoping that next year will be better or it might not be worth making the trip to see them.
翻译:每年我和姐姐都会去奥格尔贝度假村看旅馆和庄园博物馆的圣诞装饰。今年真是太令人失望了!庄园很漂亮,比去年的装饰好多了。但是旅馆那边到底是怎么回事?有些地方一如既往地漂亮(比如希克曼休息室、走廊的花坛和一品红树)。但是接待区看起来像是只完成了一半,接待区左侧的走廊里连个装饰都没有。桥上只挂着几个花环,显得很寒酸,走廊里的圣诞树是我见过最可怜的“查理·布朗”式圣诞树。
这让我不禁怀疑,是不是度假村把太多钱花在了翻新上,所以没钱装饰了!
我们希望明年会好一些,不然可能就不值得再去了。
