A Day Together

Last Friday was hubby and my anniversary and we actually had a day together! We decided to go into Reno to this park that we never been to go check out the museum that they have there. My oldest son was off that day and he said he would pick up his brother and sister from school so that we wouldn't have to worry about how they were going to get home or that we would have to wait to go into Reno after we picked them up. We gave him some money so they could go to the movies and have dinner, so it was kind of a treat for them as well. We get to the park and wasn't sure exactly were we should go, it is a pretty big park! In the museum they have two parts, one is the museum with all of Wilbur Mays stuff. He left the land to Reno and they made this park out of it. The guy was a rancher and a world traveler. The other part of the museum they change the theme. We didn't know before we got there what was going to be there we just wanted to check it out because we never been there. The theme was Sherlock Holmes. The gal was telling us they wanted to try something different and something that would attract adults and teens. So what it was is a hands on where you go through and read the chapters, write down any clues you may have and they also had little cheat boxes that you could also get more clues from, plus after his chapter they had a room you go into to try and see if you could get clues from the room. It was pretty cool! There was eight chapters in all and when you get down to the last chapter you wait until "Mr Holmes" opens the door for you to come into his den to found out if you solved the crime! I really enjoy it, didn't solve the crime, but it was like after you talk to Mr Holmes and he tells you who did it, you are like Oh yeah I should have got that! It was really a lot of fun and I look forward to taking my kids next summer and who knows what the theme they will have! The day was really nice and it was really great to have a day alone together and celebrating 27 years!
