Shannon and I (along with KC and Celeste) went to the parade of homes in St. George. This weekend. For $12.50 a person, you get to visit 26 different homes in the area and walk through them. For those most part, these are not normal people homes. I think 1 of the 26 is valued at under $500,000 and at least 20 are more than one million. We only made it to three homes yesterday, partly because we picked some of the biggest ones. One home we went to was eight or nine thousand square feet, featured a 3 story library, a book safe, 5 outdoor fireplaces, 5 indoor fireplaces, a pool, 2 hot tubs, 4+ balconies, and who knows what else I can't remember. But, we decided that we needed some place bigger.
So, we went on to the 20,000+ sq. ft. behemoth. This home wasn't quite a fancy, but it sure was huge. The bedrooms (all 7 of them) were massive, probably 500 square feet in and of themselves. Each with it's own private bath, of course. The home had a 'sports bar' area with a pool table with 4 big screens above it, so you could watch TV from every side of the pool table. It had a fairly complete kitchen on each of the 3 floors. It had a nice movie theater for the adults, and a separate one for the kids. But the real kicker was laundry room #2. The top floor had one laundry room, which was a good sized room, apparently also for doing crafts. As we went into the second laundry room, however, we found one of those wooden signs that are all the rage these days. Rather than saying "family" or "love" or something this one had a much more fitting message: "Simplify".
I hope there isn't an additional charge beyond the $4,500,000 price tag to cover the irony.

We did that yesterday too! We only saw four houses, but the 21,000 square foot one was one of them. You forgot to mention the 2-lane bowling alley with 20 pinball machines.
Excess. Love it.
