"TOMB" - by 5WITS Boston

"Tomb" is considered to be a full immersion adventure. It's fabulously made to test your wits in this mind-bending adventure of sights, sounds and action.
Upon entering the "tomb", - it's like stepping into an Indiana Jones movie, where you will be in a simulated 3,000 year-old tomb with only your flashlight and your wits to guide you.
It provides a unique, walk-through interactive adventure experience using state-of-the-art special effects and mind-boggling riddles in a fantastic setting.

This is a 45-minute adventure of excitement. You'll find yourself trapped by the spirit of an ancient pharaoh, faced with ingenious challenges that must be completed for any chance of making it out alive.
If you have a large group, you must work together to find success in this battle of wits, or face the pharaoh's wrath! They said: - if you fail, death awaits! (LOL! of course, in reality it's NOT!).

Consider yourself to be lucky just in case you happened to read this experience we've been through :). What I will be sharing is more than a clue to help you get the clearer picture once you are inside the tomb.

1st Chamber: Before stepping into the first chamber, you have to find a way to open that first door, of course! ( No clues on this part, pls!). Once you're inside, (your guide will be with you, don't worry), you'll be hearing pharaoh's instructions.

• You'll gonna find those lights that illuminates...(colored red).
• Move the statue.
• Play pharaoh's music. There will be 4 buttons with a corresponding pitch. By hearing pharaoh's music, you have to play those buttons correctly by following the correct tunes.

2nd Chamber:

• Move the pyramids one at a time from box1 to box 2. This requires mind skills and technique. You have to do it fast as time runs fast. Or else, you'll be crushed with that ceiling as it goes down.

3rd Chamber:

• Do the picture puzzle on the floor. You have to complete the puzzle basing on the revolving puzzle on the wall consisting of symbols. This requires sharp eye skills as it is quite confusing. In our experience, we missed this one as our time ended too soon. So we were taken to a pipe puzzle on the wall which is much easier once you get the instructions.

4th Chamber:

• Symbol puzzles. You have to complete these puzzles on the four corner posts. Again, this requires mind and eye skills.

5th Chamber:

• This will be the final verdict! - it's the pharaoh's tomb. It's up to you to find way of illuminating pharaoh's face from a light coming from the outside.

So, ... did you find yourself wittier than the others? Fun, isn't it?

Give a Gift, Grant a Wish!

Sears Layaway seems to be perfect for this coming holidays for my loved ones. Every Christmas, I buy my gifts in department stores . Honestly, Sears is one of the stores I visit regularly. The best thing is, Sears is close from home too! :). So, it's really a perfect timing as well.
One thing I would definitely buy for my mother-in law is a floral print sweater by Covington. The color (black tonal) is perfect for her as she loves either the floral or lace designs :).
Also, I have decided to get a gift for my own at home; - a 7qt. slow cooker by Kenmore. This would help me save more time with cooking. At least, I can do more chores at home that I need to do. Besides, I would no longer get so much stress in the kitchen from all the mess of cooking.
An electric and rechargeable lawn mower would be good and ideal as a gift for hubby. Honestly, we are still using an obsolete (gas powered) and already old one. Both of the rear wheels are barely moving...and yes, hubby would surely be surprised when he will get it! I have decided to shop these online...no hassle for driving, and more convenient for me. What else can I ask for? Most of the prices are also discounted, so this is a great chance to shop as well.
At Sears, you can grant a wish not just by giving a gift this holiday season...only at Sears ! Shop today to avoid the rush.

The Alamo – San Antonio, Texas

If you are interested to learn a little bit of a history lesson, you can go visit the Alamo for a walk around the luscious, meticulously groomed grounds. No photos are allowed inside, so better take photos outside the front doors before you go inside if you want keepsakes.

The Story of The Alamo, 13 fateful days in 1836:

This would be a long story to tell, so it would only be briefly summarized just to have a short background about the place.

The Alamo in 1836 occupied grounds and buildings of former Mision San Antonio de Valero. Used as a military post since the early 1800’s, the Texians had barricaded openings and mounted at least 19 cannon before the 13-day siege.

The final assault came before daybreak on the morning of March 6, 1836, as columns of Mexican soldiers emerged from the predawn darkness and headed for the Alamo’s walls. Cannon and small arms fire from inside the Alamo beat back several attacks. Regrouping, the Mexicans scaled the walls and rushed into the compound. Once inside, they turned captured cannon on the Long Barrack and church, blasting open the barricaded doors. The desperate struggle continued until the defenders were overwhelmed. By sunrise, the battle had ended and Santa Anna entered the Alamo compound to survey the scene of his victory.

While the facts surrounding the siege of the Alamo continue to be debated, there is no doubt about what the battle has come to symbolize. People worldwide continue to remember the Alamo as a heroic struggle against overwhelming odds-a place where men made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom. For this reason, the Alamo remains hallowed ground and the Shrine of Texas Liberty.

Hubby up close :)

How we wish we could stay longer. There are still some more to do, but we lack time. For sure, if we get the chance to go back, it will be more fun time memories to cherish!

San Antonio River Walk-Texas (Part 2)

One of the highlights of your river walk tour would be to go on a barge ride such as the San Antonio cruises at the River Center Mall. You can also try a romantic barge ride under a canopy of 200-year old cypress trees. We saw a wedding being held on the barge, and we thought it was cute and romantically unique!

Our Barge Ride Tour

Other San Antonio Adventures:

We have been visiting Guinness World Records a lot, but since it was there, we decided to drop by.

The Ripley’s Haunted Adventure:

Strictly no photo allowed here. This is a new attraction, so we tried it. To go inside, you will be taken in by a cage-like elevator to the second floor and you’ll be greeted by a scary faced guy. It was like a maze finding your way out in a super dark room. Those men disguised in ghostly outfits with painted scary faces scares you to death!

Oh, boy!...don’t try going all alone unless you’re tough enough to play with them inside the dark! You couldn’t even figure out where you are going. Those disguised ghosts are real people, so that’s the good news, LOL!...inside, they scare you and might even pat your back..Boooo!!!

There are so much more to see and discover. These shows and rides are located just across the Alamo Plaza.
