Halloween...."Way Back When"

Here in Nevada October 31st is a state holiday because ironically, the state was founded on Halloween. Go figure!:) So Bryce had the day off and we decided to leave the trick-or-treaters behind and go do some sight seeing in Virginia City, Nevada.

* * *

Just a little history for you: Virginia City was the reason Nevada became a state! In the late 1800's it was the richest town in the west and bigger than San Fransisco. You'd never believe it now though! It was like stepping back in time and Bryce and I had fun being a tourist for the day.:)

We had to stop by "The Way it Was" museum and learn about the history of this little town.


There were tons of "old time" stuff in there. I spent about 1/2 an hour looking at the old medical supplies and medicine they used to use. Of course that's where you'd find the nurse.:)

There was also a short video in this little "theater" room. Can you tell how exciting it was by the look on our faces??

Now, this is how Bryce really felt about the video.:)

P.S. That's not a beer in Bryce's hand, it's an energy drink.:)

We were being so rowdy that they threw us both in jail.:)

And NO Bryce is not drunk in this picture from his energy drink.:)

Just a little stop at the Jerky Co. - -

- - and the candy shop. Yummy!

Seriously, look at all the candy! Bryce and I were in this shop forever but there were too many choices so we left with nothing.:)

I told you we had stepped back in time.

After leaving Virginia City and coming back into the "present time" we decided that Halloween just wouldn't be complete without watching a scary movie. So we purchased a couple classics at Target and stopped by 7-11 for a slurpie (because what movie night would be complete without a banana slurpie)?. . . . . .

Not only did we get slurpie's at 7-11 but the cashier was handing out glow-sticks!!!

What a perfect Halloween night!! :0)
