AND, it seemed like FOREVER it sat there, mysteriously. It looked big and amazing.... but it was just there, inaccessible.
Over the last few years, however, it has become an open business. You can rent a room for the night there, and they have an upscale restaurant.
I don't think a lot of people realize that it is now open.
So I went there the other night with several friends for dinner!
Also, the night we were there, they were having a daddy/daughter/princess dance. It was very sweet seeing all of the dads coming in with their little girls, everyone dressed up. You could tell that the girls were super excited to be going out, with their fathers, to a castle!
Oddly, there were some "princesses" (think Disney) at the event for photo opportunities. I did see a lot of little girls in line to get pictures with the Cinderella look-a-likes.
We were seated in the restaurant area. It was kind of open, so crowds from the restaurant area mingled with the daddy/daughter crowd. This was pleasant, except for music from the daddy/daughter event coming into the restaurant.
The food was very nice, and we all thought the service was great. They are trying to be upscale here though... my wife and I spent around $80 for the two of us......
It was very nice exploring the inside of the Castle. Again, the unique building for the state is a well known land mark... while also being mysterious for so long.
The inside didn't seem as castle like as I expected. Then again, I am not really familiar with what the inside of a castle should look like. BUT, the inside did look impressive.
