i love watching the christmas story movie every year and it was such a treat to go to the house where the movie was actually filmed at. i will never look at the movie in the same way again. we had a chance to pick up the red ryder bb gun and take pics, sit at the kitchen table, walk around the house and just take as many photos as we wished to. i also loved shopping the gift shop and even though its september i felt like it was christmas, lol
