October Festivities / Redding, CA 10/13-10/14 2017

Mid October Amanda and I took a small vacation up in Redding, CA to enjoy our 4th Halloween together and celebrate her promotion coupled with finding my place at Mesa Rim.  We left on Friday the 13th early in the morning and made the drive by 11AM.  We first stopped at Turtle Bay to see the beautiful sundial bridge above the Sacramento River, walked through public gardens, and saw the animal exhibits.  My favorite animal was probably the Bobcat, Amanda's was the Parrot.  We had a relaxing night at our room and enjoyed the hot tub.  Saturday we woke up casually and ventured out to Shasta Lake and Shasta Dam, we did some shopping, ate at Redding's Ultimate Pizza, then on to the main event, Dreams of Darkness Haunted House!  45Minutes long, and it did not disappoint.  Amanda's favorite part was the simulated crashing elevator scene.  My favorite part was a tie between the swamp area we had to scramble through towards the beginning and the exploratory graveyard areas outside.
