While driving around in an old mining town we came across this old mine that was still standing. It operated as a mine from 1985 to 1900 in that time it produced over $2,500,000 in gold.
While I was walking around it and took a look in the operating room where the elevator worked for the miners to go down into it I felt like I was going to see some kind of a ghost. It was really creepy and cool at the same time. There was one small room with a bench in it that had an oil can that was all rusty and worn out.
I loved the thought that possibly something could pop out at any moment, but of course nothing did. It was an amazing piece of history.

It has been at least 10 years or longer since I went to the Renaissance Festival. This year when I went I got to dress up like the Renaissance times, of course in purple. My favorite part about the whole outfit was the corset. Plus while we were there they had so many other beautiful corsets to look at. 
Tiny Town is a little miniature town that has building and a train that runs around it. It was built in 1915 for a little girl and opened to the public in 1921. I couldn’t even tell you how many little houses there were. It was like we were giant people walking through a town. Most of the buildings were replicas of real buildings that were either from the past or still standing today.
Last night we went out flying and toured the city. Night flying has got to be one of my favorite ways of flying around. All of the lights look so pretty at night while they are twinkling. When we went up the sun was just starting to set so the mountains had a glowing halo behind them. It was beautiful.
