So we loaded up on a Thursday morning and headed out.
Our first day there we just sort of hung out. We went over to visit my Uncle JR (my Dad's brother). We also drove around to look for deer. The names of where we went are escaping me at the moment, but we went through two beautiful scenic routes down there. We saw five does. It was really neat to see them in people's front yards just grazing. Afterward we went out to eat at the Golden Corral.
The next morning we got up early and headed out to Tombstone. We have never been there either. It was neat to see the older buildings and the horse drawn carriages. The shops had tons of interesting things. A necklace with a scorpion embedded in it, black jack chewing gum, lots of rocks, jewelery, and other odds and ends. The kids of course wanted something from every store we went into. I did end up with a beautiful necklace from the trip. We had lunch at a little saloon over there and decided to make our way over to Bisbee to check it out. On our way out of the restaurant it starts to rain hard for the next 30 minutes or more. We ended up taking shelter in a shop. After the rain slowed we braved the trip to the van.

This was the street musician. The kids played music with him right before it started to pour.
Coincidence? I think not!
Next we headed over to Bisbee to check it out. The city is beautiful. Postcard beautiful. It is like a fake city from a movie. The house are literally built into the mountains. We got out and walked around the little shops. It was quaint. It was different. We wanted to check out the mine, but it was closed for the day. We drove back and had an awesome BBQ and went swimming. (Apparently the rain only liked Tombstone and Bisbee.)
We are planning to go up again for the Fall break and spend a little bit more time there.
