Three Happy Years




On April 29th we celebrated our 3 year Wedding Anniversary! It has been a great and fast three years. For our anniversary we went to San Jose and stayed at the Hayes Mansion. It's a mansion that was built in 1905 for the Hayes family, then was later bought by the City of San Jose who turned it into a hotel/resort and conference center. We loved it.
We also went to the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose. It is also a mansion, but a much crazier one. It was built on for 38 years on going 24/7 because Sarah Winchester felt that she was haunted by the people that had been killed by Winchester guns, and a psychic told her that she had to never stop building on the house, or else she would die. Crazy house with windows in the floor, doors leading to walls, stairs going to the ceiling, and all sorts of other eccentricities.
It was a wonderful weekend. We look forward to this next year.

I have always wanted to see that museum/mansion ever since I heard about it! It sounds like somewhere so fun to see! How far away is San Jose from you guys? I want to visit that place and it would be fun if you guys could come along. Plus, my family lived in San Jose for 2 years and 2 of my siblings were born there!

We're jealous. Our 1st anniversary we had just had Nora 4 days before so there was absolutely no celebration. I don't even remember saying "Happy Anniversary." Then our 2nd anniversary we were snowed in and it was similar...no celebrating. There's always number 3 right??
