Ok, so I am WAAAAAAY behind in just about everything regarding this blog.
Meeting 2 happened. We hauled our cookies up to the masion at 9 am on Saturday. I am by no means a morning person so it took all my strength to roll out of bed and get there on time. Mornings for me are from 11am to 12 pm and then it's the afternoon. Mornings are not my friend.
These facts being true, my morning was not made better by being locked out of the complex all together, along with my 9 class mates. Little did we know that our tour guide for the day had cancelled due to illness and didn't let the tour group know. So the instructor, known as Cynthia, had to call the Park Ranger to let us in and in turn he (Steve) became our tour guide. But we could only tour for a little bit, so we got the back door tour of the house, one very reminiscent of that 60's movie 'If its tuesday it must be Amsterdam'. we were peeling around the house taking whatever photos we could and absorbing any trash the ranger had to tell us...lots of ghosts, murder, intrigue, etc. look for another post on that later. :)
The tour ends and we fianlly get to see our rooms. For the most part they're very cool, lots of nooks in the bedrooms, a kick ass checkerboard floor in the hall and service rooms. Its like clue! But as you will see in the photos, some of the rooms need lots of work (and I thought the blitz was over...).
