We had fun today, and won't need exercise for a week. This morning I went to my class. Boy is this time change nuts! I had to set my alarm for 8:30 to get there by 10 but there's no way my body would acknowledge that alarm before 9:15... I was the last to arrive but I made it by 10:00!
Got home at noon and waited for DH to get home. We decided today is the day we'd go to our local museum to solve the case of the Great Bank Robbery of 1922. This is a Spring Break event so that has "kids" written all over it, but it also said children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. So what the heck. It must be okay for adults too. We get ourselves into these binds all the time. We go to do stuff and the person at the door wants to know why we don't have kids with us. Well, it's because it looks like fun and we just don't happen to have any kids around that we can borrow. We aren't perverts we're just imature *LOL*
Same thing today. The lady said it was for kids. Maybe we just felt like visiting the museum anyway, after all we are members. So she let us pay our $5 and take part. This was a real robbery. I remember hearing about it when we went on a tour of the village a few years ago. Our museum is set up with little rooms representing the phone company, jail, general store, blacksmith, someone's front parlour, etc. So we started at a place that they'd set up as a bank vault and followed the clues from one place to another. Thing is our museum is narrow and 3 stories high. So they'd send us to the 3rd floor and then say go back down two flights then go back up two flights again to check something else out. I haven't climbed so many stairs in months. At one point DH said "Can't we skip the clue in the middle and do the two up here so we don't have to climb the stairs again? *LOL* So we did. There were interviews (on paper) and fingerprints (paper again). It was fun. We kind of got it right. It was darn hard. I doubt kids would get any closer than we did. We did catch the guy but we didn't figure out that he had 3 different aliases (which would explain why the print on the door of the vault matched that of 3 different people).
It was a great way to just get away from all the everyday worries. Pretending you're 12 is great :0)

I am sooo glad you did the Robbery game--too many times us adults forget to have a little fun in life--you made me smile--thanks-Hugs, Di
Ha! That sounds like great fun! You could have borrowed my trio... :o)
It was FINALLY nice enough that the kids and I took a walk today after school. Our first one of the year! It felt so good, but I am achey now!
Good for you Shirley. It sounds like fun. I don't think I'd be able to convince my DH to do something like that - doesn't like to look "silly". In public anyway.

Gee, that sounds like fun. I know my DH wouldn't go for that--too many noisy kids for him.
