Railroads and Riches...

Tonight we went to three different museums for our evening conference activity including:

  1. The Railroad Museum

  2. The Moody Mansion

  3. Bishop’s Palace


Other than the line literately being out the door and around the block for the ONE (yes, ONE food station for over 150 people) at the Railroad Museum, the night was lots of fun. It is always a lot of fun to see what other museums and historic locations are doing educationally. Yes, I’m a dork that way.

Of course, not everything you see needs to be duplicated. Take the following for example:




How scary is that? Dolls are so not my thing. They completely freak me out. And that one? Yeah, totally something out of a Stephen King novel.

The Moody Mansion (circa 1895)


Bishop's Palace (circa 1887)

(Sorry about the poor photo quality. Architectural shots never work out well after dark.)

FYI, not that I'm the world's greatest expert on this or anything, but there's probably a mode on your camera for night architecture shots. There's one on mine.

It IS a new camera, but I took several pictures of each building (experimenting with the various camera "modes") with little or no difference. It is just a little digital hand held, though. Nothing super professional. I’ll keep playing with it, but I'm guessing it will only do so much.
