The theme for this years annual Gingerbread Adventures exhibit at the Bronx Botanical Gardens was vacation. After eliminating idea after idea - tropical beach scene (where is the gingerbread, a palm tree?), the almost expected Swiss chalet, a roman holiday (Colosseum), a Parisian getaway (Arc de Triomphe or Eiffel Tower) - I finally settled on the vacation of the future. I made a rocket ship on "Mars" with a family of astronauts and planets from our solar system floating in the space beyond. If you get to see it in person you will also notice a small green marzipan alien and spaceship made by 6-year old son. It is hiding behind the astronauts.
