Trip to Estes Park and the Stanley Hotel & Ghost Tour

Well yesterday I was invited to go with Kathy and friends to the Stanley Hotel in a limo and go on the Ghost tour.  We had a great time and learned a lot about the Stanley Hotel and heard about a lot of Ghost Stories.  We even heard in the tunnel a girls voice say "hello," then upstairs on the 4th floor where the children were known to play the little boy Matthew is known to spend a lot of time there and will take you hand and maybe tug on your jeans. Well Jamie was standing there and she felt Matthew take hold of her hand and tug on her jeans.  It was pretty neat. Here are some pictures of our day. 
  Room 401 - where Lord Dunraven is known to hang out in the closet

Room 217 where Stephen King wrote the Shining

Where Matthew is hanging out with us.

Tunnel in the Stanley.  They said this tunnel only goes back about 12-14 feet and is blocked offf so as not to danger anyone.

Jamie, Judy, Tim, and the Limo Driver and Limo.


Later the Limo dropped Kathy and I off in downtown Estes Park as the boys were on their way up to the park.  We went to Penelope's to get a snack of chicken strips and fries and just as we finished the boys arrived.  We went up into Rocky Mountain National Park where we hiked up to Alluvia Falls and Dave & Kathy brought along their metal detector.  So treasure hunting we did go.  In the end Zac ended up with 16 cents and some bottle caps, washer and a bracelet. 






After this we were hungry for dinner so to the Wapti we went.  I had chicken alfredo.  WOW it was a huge plate of food and delicious too.  Then we stopped back by the Stanley Hotel to check out the Halloween Ball and here is Zac in front of the Stanley.  Then of course we ran into Jack again so finally after visiting with him for a little bit I just couldn't resist asking him if we could take a picture with him.  Here we are....
