| The Winchester Mystery House and its gardens |
If you're a reader of mystery books, The Winchester Mystery House is a fun place to spend the day. We started the morning out taking The Grande Estate Tour which included walking through 110 of the rooms in the mansion, exploring the somewhat spooky basement, and walking all throughout the gardens. Once finished exploring, we set up our office on one of the picnic tables that line the garden, had a picnic lunch, and caught up on work. We were protected from the direct sunlight with the cascading trees above us, but were still able to enjoy the wonderful fresh air and peaceful silence that you find when surrounded by beautiful flowers.

There is something wonderful about not only stopping to smell the roses, but finding a place to sit and surround yourself with them. On the property here in San Jose you can see hundreds of roses, plants, and trees from countries all over the world. There is an amazing bell tower that you can find yourself staring at for so long you realize you might not be getting as much work done as you need to, but that is the best part of our job... our schedule is our own, and as long as the work all ends up finished by deadline, who's to know how many hours we worked today, but us? Have no fear, we did get all caught up, even a bit ahead since working outside on a weekday when most of the world is at work inside a building is the best place to work, get a ton of stuff done and not have too many people around. This is another reason we hit tourist attractions mid week, we get them all to ourselves. Just like our mansion tour this morning, we were the only ones on it and had our own private and fabulous tour guide. Well, we are off for the day, so I will sign off. We hope you all have a great day, and we look forward to sharing where Our Office Today might be tomorrow... Since we don't even know where that may be make sure you check back in.
