Virginia City & The End of Father's Day

We took a tour of Virginia City (and old mining town a little southwest of us) on Saturday.

The tour was on this 1941 fire engine--there were only 3 of them ever made and they make a cute tour bus.

Niles kept standing on the bench and hugging James' head...he really adores his big brother, it's kind of surprising how much he just worships and copies James.

Rich took a panoramic picture from Boot Hill.

Niles checking out the graves on Boot Hill.

Heidi looking down the gulch to the gold mine.

James, the Old Miner, Addie, and Heidi in a VAC shop.


Many old stores have been left "as-is" and serve as museums now. Here is the little grocery store. I thought my mom would love all the amazing tins. I loved the wall of spices and teas and coffee in these black bins.

Here we are all ready for breakfast on Father's Day (Sunday morning).

When we got home from camping late Sunday afternoon, Rich & James finished off the day right...

...playing legos!
