Adventures of two students in Oshawa!

Today Michelle and I wanted to go for a walk. So we did. We were walking down Simcoe and we saw this LOVELY house. The McLaughlin House. Of course Michelle and I couldn't pass it without going in to explore the grounds. Yes, you usually need to book a tour, but we decided to give ourselves a self guided tour and so we decided we didn't have to pay;) So we wandered all over the place. The website has some wonderful pictures to look at. It was so pretty there that we didn't want to leave. It doesn't look quite as nice as in the pictures because they don't have all the flowers or water yet. So after wandering around the whole place, we decided to leave. Only we didn't want to go out the front gate in case someone saw us...So, we wandered around the chain-link fence at the back looking for a way out. There was a pile of leaves and tree branches composting right beside the fence that we were going to climb up and then jump over the fence. But when we got up there we decided we would probably hurt ourselves if we jumped over. So Michelle, being the smart girl she is, discovered that we could crawl under the gate in the fence! So we did...only after crawling out from under the fence we discovered that there were signs posted all over the place that said the property was under video surveillance =O So then we spent the next 10 minutes of our walk discussing how to explain ourselves if we were caught...Michelle's idea was to claim ignorance to the signs being there. Which is true, we didn't see them til after we left. But nothing happened...and you better not report us! ;)

The front gate was wide open,we just walked in and avoided the main house. It is open for tours but we didn't want a tour!:) It's like the Spadina House if you remember that...just a historical house to tour.
