Bryn Mawr College -- Snow covered

We braved the snow to walk down Millbank Rd and through the Bryn Mawr College Campus.

Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmsted (famous for their Central Park landscaping) were both involved in the plans for the Bryn Mawr College buildings and grounds at the end of the nineteenth century.  Today the campus is snow covered, host to dozens of kids sledding down the hills and college students improvising with dinner trays.
The grounds are beautiful, we walk past through the campus, and then cross New Gulph and pass the Russian House, once the home of the Vaux family, and then scramble down through the woodsand home.
