Winterthur October 20, 2010

Barbara and I are on a small trip to our favorite places. Today we went to Winterthur and we were hoping to see all the trees in color but we were a bit disappointed. Only a few of the trees were in color (mostly maples and tulip trees) but it was still very pretty, it always is. We had joined Winterthur today and we had a free special tour of the house we could use so we took the Fashionable Furnishings tour (or so we thought), we were the only ones on the tour so we had a very private tour. Our tour guide took us on a 2 hour tour instead of the one hour tour we were suppose to be on, she was very knowledgeable and we got to see some of the house we had not seen in a long time so we did not complain, who would.

Tonight we are staying at The Mendenhall Inn (our favorite hotel ever) and we walked across the parking lot to have a lovely dinner at the restaurant that is here. Once again we had a lovely dinner and now we are sitting in the room just sitting and relaxing.

Here are some pictures from today, only pictures from the tram ride from the visitor center to the museum (could not take any pictures on the tour).
