The Other Half Live

Josh and I got a chance to attend the Ho Ho Holiday tour in Ankeny. It is a tour of 6 of Ankeny's most prestigious homes with all the proceeds going to charity. Each stop is catered by a local vender and while I don't think we ate $50 worth of food - touring the 3 million dollar mansion was worth the entrance fee!

We got to see the greatest of great rooms and a home with an indoor basketball court - but the tuscan style mansion was indescribable. The finest finishes and woodwork throughout the home, a 2 story monolith water feature running from the basement to the main floor...20 foot basement ceilings - just incredible! Very fun night! We likened it to Downton Abbey opening their manor to the peasants and allowing them to tour and ask questions...we definitely felt like that :)
