The Pittock Mansion is the greatest estate in Portland, and it is also rumored to be haunted...so we figured as a two in one shot on our 101 things list, we couldn't lose! The house has a huge marble staircase with rooms coming off it on the first and second floors kind of like spokes on a wheel.
Bayley was disappointed we couldn't go to the third floor, but thanks to fire codes they didn't have in the 1900's when the house was built, the stairways are too narrow. He thought the bathtubs were neat (very deep) but the beds were small (nothing bigger than a double). They both likes the neice's room, set up for little girls Bay's age. But the children's room, set up for kids Hayd's age? They both balked at the size of the tiny bed!
We toured all the rooms (the kitchen was my fave, shocker). Hayden kept ducking under the velvet rope barriers to touch things. If the place really is haunted, here's hoping the ghosts laughed. In the ballroom he insisted on a round of Ring Around The Rosie.After touring the house, we walked the ground which are very well manicured and boast an amazing view of the city. Still...nothing eerie about the place. We still get to count it as haunted, right?
