Our morning was spent at the incredible Winchester Mystery House<\/a>. \u00a0You see billboards marketing this all over the Bay area. \u00a0It is an amazing property with an even more amazing story.<\/p>\n

We were not allowed to take pictures inside the house, and the website does not do it justice. \u00a0You just need to take the tour to really get a sense of the house.<\/p>\n

Sarah Winchester, widowed after 16 years of marriage to the owner of Winchester rifles, and also having lost her baby daughter to disease, grieving and depressed, Sarah sought out a psychic. \u00a0The psychic alluded that the spirits that were killed by Winchester rifles were responsible for killing her family and that she might be next. \u00a0To appease the spirits, the psychic suggested she move west and build a great house for them. \u00a0She was to constantly<\/em> build on to the house.<\/p>\n

Sooooo, Sarah moved to San Jose, and began building. \u00a0Bringing 20 million dollars with her (yes, 20 million…), she purchased an eight room house and 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for 38 years, the house was constantly being built and remodeled. \u00a0The eight rooms went on to 160, 110 of which we saw on the tour. \u00a0There’s just too much to mention on this blog. \u00a0Sarah was crazy yet brilliant. \u00a0If you have time, it’s worth visiting their website to learn more.<\/p>\n

Here are some exterior and garden shots…
