Dynasty Mansion

Or rather... a visit to Filoli!

"The Carrington mansion was actually the Filoli Estate located thirty miles south of San Francisco off Highway 280 at 86 Canada Road in Woodside, California. It was built in 1916 by William Bower Bourn, Jr., with the profits from his Empire Mine in Grass Valley, and is now operated as a museum by the National Trust for Historic Preservation."

Linn & Audrey - ready for tour of Filoli.

Look familiar to the above TV promotional piece?

See the pond?

Same pond from the TV show... Here.. Crystal gives a push!

Audrey enjoys the fall blooms, and could care less about Dynasty.

The name "Filoli" was derived from the first two letters of the three words derived from the motto "To FIGHT for a just cause, to LOVE your fellow man, and to LIVE a good life."

Mystery Spot

For almost 60 years, this attraction has been puzzling its visitors with bizarre phenomena. Apparently, there are unusual deviations in gravity, mysterious inflections of light and altering perceptions of velocity and space. The staff takes you on a tour of the property, and you can witness all sorts of mysterious phenomena. It is a great place for the kids (and the adults who love them). This attraction is open every day of the year.

Uneven children...Even children.

"I'm the king of the world!"

Spider man.
The real mystery...
What type of idiot does this to their car?
