This week I went on a field trip to a Vero Beach tradition. Several classes from ARC of Indian River County visited the offices of Grall Glenn and Grall yesterday.
This is not your normal law office. First, it's located in a sprawling office named Tara Plantation in Vero Beach. Mr. Bernard Grall, Jr. is not your everyday run-of-the-mill attorney. For the past 21 years, he and his wife have created Christmas displays inside Tara Plantation's many rooms and on the grounds. Christmas at Tara Plantation has become a Vero Beach tradition. Mr. Grall opens up his law offices to the public and to groups like ARC. We made our annual pilgrimage to Tara Plantation yesterday to get into the Christmas spirit. (This was my second trip there!)
I am now officially in the Christmas spirit and you will be, too, when you see the pictures below.
The sad part is this is the last Christmas when the inside of Tara Plantation will be open to the public. I feel so special to have experienced the love and care that goes into creating the beautiful rooms filled with Christmas trains, trees, and angels. Thank you to Tara Plantation and to Mr. Grall and his family for sharing this tradition with me and my friends and teachers at ARC. Merry Christmas, Mr. Grall!
