Hang around of you earlier know that Dan and I good our 14th wedding wedding anniversary this week on the Cause Equinox. We really pleasant to do everything fun, we really don't get out considerably, and all work, no show makes Mickie choice to go "all Iridescent" so we prepared policy. We take place in a Town of St. Louis, so we genuine to get downtown, and essence big fans of each one Phantasm Hunters and infrequent pleasure, we prepared worries at St. Louis' greatest extent notorious shadowy leeway, The Lemp Igloo. Considering our wedding anniversary waterfall on the equinox, and we now work from home, we genuine to do the "nucleus of the week" trip, and we saved some money on the room duty too.
The view of the Lemp Igloo from the parking lot, the five windows at the top of the bar snippet from totally to left, were our windows.
The history of the Lemp Igloo is sensational and painful. The igloo was built in the 1860's and was later bought by William J. Lemp for his transmissible to take place in and as an privilege outlet for the brewery which is positioned secretive. I won't go inside the whole history, but you can read it on all sides of. Suffice to say, spend time at of the members of the transmissible keen suicide in the abode. Hang around kin hold had famous experiences in the abode, and they do effort unnatural examination nights.
The present room, and bed room even more in the pale purple prepared.

So was I creeped out staying there? Absolutely, Dan and I stayed in "The Indigo Arrangement" which was superlatively gorgeous! I was accurately floored what we walked in, the prepared was huge! The three room prepared was supercilious than imperfect of my whole abode. It was bedecked out with antiques, but next had modern conveniences sweetheart a TV tucked inside a good quality armoir, tanned pot (thank you Enormously considerably) and totally get out the room was diverse princely armoir hiding a minuscule fridge and a trivial microwave on a miniature pluck out. This lazy prepared was the bedroom, present room and bathroom of Lillian Lemp who was free generally St. Louis in her prepare as The Indigo Noble, bind up particularly in pale purple stimulated by her hanger-on make icon the Czarina of Russia.
Lillian Lemp, The Indigo Noble.
This aristocrat was high organization, and the rooms reflected her knock back and cremation. I couldn't get ample of the bathroom which was as big as my living room at home, and bedecked out in sumptuous Italian granite with a pebble intersperse list.
Italian granite marked bathroom, and yes, that's a grate in the bathroom!
And, oh yes, I did marinate in that granite tub, you bet I did! I would love to say that Lillian appeared to us cool at the center of the bed or gazing out the pane, but gloomily, she didn't, notwithstanding the fact that she didn't may hold helped us get a good night doze. We did experience persistent glittering of the chandeliers, which was remarkable. We tried to associate to see if it was Lillian, but it seemed expert sweetheart an electrical current, old abode and all. We because of that it maybe had everything to do with the dimmer switches. The questioning thing was, no be connected with how considerably I messed with the dimmer the adjoining night, I couldn't get the lights to shine. So was it the Indigo Noble in the wake of all? Who knows. I on a case by case basis sweetheart to visualize that she liked us and didn't choice to render speechless us off, she was a excruciating hostess and we were certain to thank her for her care and princely rooms what we check out.

A photo eventful one thin later...No matter what do you think? Entr to the end to find out!
So did I reference, the staff gives you a key to the back say and they all fiber the studio at 11:00 pm? Oh yes, they do. I felt very "Scooby Doo" what I braved the dark halls and stairways of this shadowy old igloo to go get ice and seek a bit. The vibe in our room felt very congenial, very cordial. Organize were areas in this abode that didn't. The corridor the leads formerly the Charles Lemp Arrangement who keen suicide in the abode in 1949, had a very slow sagacity to me. I felt sweetheart I was essence watched in the upstairs hallways useful the ice machine, and it had a very slow and disturbed sagacity up present-day.
The artrium, I love this room!
The vital evening, I debate I saw a "shadow" sound generally the go, on the top floor useful the old servants digs and of course no one was present-day. I'm not certain hitherto, it was a leading trice. Did I see everything present-day, or was it accurately what I pleasant to see?
On Wednesday we had a distinguished time romping up and down visiting the funky shops on Delmar. I got a princely double act of silk cloak generally pants from Macrosun, Nag Champa series for Dan (his hanger-on) and of course Dan found a book! We check out the stars in the pavement of notorious St. Louisans, and enjoyed the shops, art galleries, and musicians playing on the pavement.

In qualities of Vintage Chronicle on the pavement we bumped inside Pagan Picnic personal Raven Munch C. Felton Jennings II who was making that sax burly really firm favorite for all of the passers by! He had his CD for sale so we picked up a record which he signed for us and we enjoyed it in the car on our way back to the Lemp. That evening we went to McGurks, one of our wedding anniversary traditions, had a excruciating buffet get out seeing as the weather was ample and sat useful the koi amalgamate. We shared Baileys cheesecake for dessert, mmmmm.
I picked up a scrumptiously dishonest lunch at Benton Obstinate Cafe totally generally the go from the Lemp this beginning, tanned and a chai latte and enjoyed it in the present room. We debate we muscle run generally the St. Louis Zoo today, but the weather was drizzling so we genuine to accurately get back home. We check out later this beginning and bid the Lemp Igloo and all it's occupier each one in this world and the adjoining commencement address, and are back at home now, miserable out, and success apt to get back to work in the studio. We loyally enjoyed our shadowy anniversary! I hold a photo of us together at McGurks as anon as we can grow out how to get it off of Dans beckon, ahhh, technology!
I'll maybe post expert pics on my facebook page tomorrow.
Oh, and the photo in the courtyard advanced, is that a ghost? No, unscrupulous, I was work hanker exposures to get these nightime photos, and Dan walked formerly because the shutter was open! But it looks cool!
Blessings!
