Today we learned that houses like this one:

Have separate stair cases leading to the front door. This is because, during the Victorian period, ladies would have to hike their skirts up to walk up the stairs. The men couldn’t possibly control their hormones if the ladies showed their ankles, therefore, they would use separate staircases.

We went back down the City Market. I noticed a place called Wet Willies. They had slushie type alcoholic beverages. As I learned yesterday, you can walk around with your alcoholic beverage, so I got one to go. 😀

We had lunch at a noodle bar. Then headed toward the Oddities museum. We have been to a few of these before. They never disappoint. This one had a stellar collection of earthwork from John Wayne Gacy (serial killer). This place also had a Free Pinball room. It had many pinball machines you could play for as long as you wanted. Avery said she had never played a pinball machine. We took a bunch of time and played every game there.

After that, our feet hurt. We went back to rest, mostly our feet. Our hotel serves Champagne and cookies everyday. So we benefited from this luxury service.

We booked a haunted tour at the Sorrel House. We learned about the history of the house. We toured and snapped pictures. We did capture a traveling orb. We also learned about how the enslaved lived and their less than stellar living conditions.

We walked a lot today. Our feet hurt and we will have a relaxing day tomorrow.
