It’s been years and years and years since we had been to Virginia City so it seemed like a mid week trip might be nice.

We didn’t expect it to be so so cold in September. . . there were traces of snow (whine whine whine)

To explore the town the right way, we figured we should know where we were going and what things were . . . so we found a map. 

But we couldn’t carry that with us!  So we stopped by the visitor’s center where we found more information than we wanted. 

We left on our own map!

I got to put images in my mind of places I’ve heard of for years but didn’t really know what they looked like.

There were historical markers all over the place!

but there were also A LOT of places we didn’t want to go visit (most of which were not picture worthy)

and there was no avoiding my very least favorite big Reno event . . . Street Vibrations in which motorcycle riders take over the roads and everything else.  (Who knew there was a special event in Virginia City on this very day?  Obviously not us!)

It was a great day and a great way to spend our family anniversary.  We had another county adventure and spent time together . . . and we managed to leave before the crowds got too big.
