Dear Liza,
We had a wonderful visit this week. Auntie Bridgett’s sister Esther and her family came through town and we got to spend some time with them. We had so many neat things we wanted to show them!
They spent their first night at the McMenamin’s Kennedy School, so we met them there for dinner. Over pizza and breadsticks, we got to hear about the trip up and make plans for what to do in town.
Then we introduced them to the ghosts! Many of the McMenamin’s properties are rumored to have spirits wandering around, and the Kennedy School is one. There have been sightings of a little girl who wanders around and looks out the window. The artists have captured this eerie feeling in several murals.
As Grandpa Nelson, Auntie Bridgett and the kids were looking at one art piece, I took their picture in front of another one… and it got creepy. Look at that girl with the ribbon above Bridgett’s head. She is up to no good.
There was also art that didn’t give me shivers, of course. The skylights in the hallway all have mosaics that reflects light beautifully.
On this visit, we even got to see the inside of a hotel room, because the family had reserved one. They stayed in a room just down the hall from the movie theater. It was very nice and didn’t seem to have any ghosts.
We gave everyone good night hugs and headed home. More adventures tomorrow!
Love,
Grandma Judy
