We were able to get tickets for the Guided Tour at half-off. We'll probably go back some evening and take the (free) self-guided Garden Tour to check out the grounds. My favorite part was the stained glass in the front part of the house. The rooms inside were dark, so the windows were quite stunning in the morning light. Nicole's favorite part was the simple fact that after visiting a few rooms, you were completely turned around, couldn't tell which way was north, and wouldn't have been able to find your own way out.

Winchester Mystery House
On Saturday, we went to the Winchester Mystery House with some friends from work. If you're not familiar with WMH, it's the former home of Sarah Winchester, heiress to the Winchester Rifle fortune; Mrs. Winchester had construction on the house continue 24/7 for 38 years to confuse and keep at bay the ghosts of everyone who had died from a Winchester rifle. More details at the Wikipedia article.

I have been there before and enjoyed it very much! My favorite room was the one with like 7 ways in and 1 way out. And then you walked through a closet. A least I think that is how it was I went when I was 8 which is like almost 20 years ago!
That would be the seance room, at the center of the house. My favorite part of that room was the door that exited to the gap above the kitchen sink (one floor down).
