Another fun Saturday outing was to Virginia City! It is an old mining boom town that turned into a ghost town and now has been set up as a pretty sweet tourist attraction. We had fun looking at a sweet steam engine (we missed a chance to ride it to another Ghost Town, Nevada City). We got to see a cool museum, peeked in windows at lots of old stuff, checked out restored buildings, and read lots of interesting facts about the history of the town, what hte buildings were used for, and how vigilantes ran the town. It used to have like 10,000 residents and now has less than 150! It was a fun and interesting little visit!

A cool view of the street and a horse and carriage! Everything looked so neat!

This is just one view of the beautiful place we live! Gotta love Big Sky Country! :)
