Going on a solo adventure, I recently explored the abandoned ruins of Olive View Hospital in Sylmar, California. It was quite a sight!

She really enjoyed it! For me, my wife, and the older kids, it wasn't quite so much fun.

I don't think my sister enjoyed it like your daughter, but fortunately they were all OK, just a few broken dishes, I think. I'm so glad that dam held up!
