As a "Happy 35th Anniversary to Us!" present, we finally made a long-anticipated trip to New Zealand. It is fitting that our first visit was to Hobbiton. It was seeing the scenery in Lord of the Rings that actually inspired us to make a visit.
Hobbiton did not disappoint! The day was gorgeous (we arrived at the beginning of autumn there), and seeing the set of the movie(s) was just so fun! There is so much attention to detail! We especially enjoyed hearing lots of "behind the scenes info" and seeing the inside of two hobbit holes that were just completed a few months ago.
