Tahoe Part 3: Virginia City (Lots of Pics)

One of our little adventures on our vacation was Virginia City. Now I have been there before with Anna and David when Lizzi was 5 months old. So I was excited to do some shopping because I had my eye on a stone chess set I had seen over 2 years ago. But James and I were also excited for our little outing because of this show we're addicted to called "Ghost Adventures". Basically 3 guys go and get literally locked in to the location they are investigating and film all night. Well the documentary that they shot and thus began their show was partly shot in Virginia City! So of course I was hoping to get something cool in a picture. Yes I know, I'm a nerd.

The kids as we start our tour of the city. Got to love the wooden sidewalks.

We checked out the museum while we were there. Check out the old slot machines! And James of course doing his Price is Right pose.

After seeing this, I will never take my washing machine for granted.

Our little family photo, I'm thinking this may be my Christmas card this year.

Grandpa got in on the action too.

Our first haunted location. One of the things that they mention a lot on any ghost investigation shows is light orbs. Sometimes they are dust, sometimes they are manifestations of spirits (that's what they say at least). I think I got one in this photo. I guess the story here is that a prostitute killed herself in this hotel. What James is looking at is silver dollars that are on the wall to create a dress for the "lady" on the wall. If I remember right over $3000 in silver is on that wall.

The actual sign for the casino.

Suicide table, named for that because many men lost there fortunes playing on it, and then later killed themselves. Upbeat huh?

Another haunted location, but nothing interesting in the pictures besides my cute family.

On the documentary we watched this building actually had a figure on tape. So creepy! Luckily we didn't see anything, because I know deep down that if I ever did see something like that I would run away screaming my head off.

Getting ready to go back to Tahoe. The kids were great for our outing. I'm so lucky to have such easy going kids when it comes to going on little trips. It beats screaming, crying and anything else that could go wrong.
