Virginia City














The girls and Cash have been taking weekly trips somewhere every Monday. Aunt An has Mondays off, so we try to do something fun on her days off. One week we went to the Grizzly Discovery Center in West Yellowstone (I still need to put up those pics!) and last week we went to Virginia City.
I will be honest, dang V-City left a bad taste in my mouth for this season!! Half of the cute little shops were closed (not sure why since it's tourist season in MT). Then we decided to go on the "choo choo" to Nevada City which is like 4 miles up the highway. We figured Cashy would get a kick out of riding, and I had never been on either. Well......we rode over, and since there isn't a whole lot to see in Nevada City we were just going to ride right back. The nice teenage dude told us that it would be 10 min and we would take off. Enough time to go check out a big train they have over in Nevada City. Well....as we are walking up to the platform with a BABY in tow....they leave!!! So we demanded half our money back since we wouldn't be waiting the extra hour it would take to wait for the train to return, and set off on foot. Four miles in 85 degree heat in the middle of the day was pretty fun!! Um, wait not really, but sure makes a funny story to tell, doesn't it!
