We had a great few days with my parents this last weekend. We planned on just doing the same things we do every time they come down which consists of going out to eat, going to a park and shopping. That stuff is always fun, but this weekend my Dad really wanted to go to Tombstone Arizona and I have always wanted to go, so at about 4:00 pm Friday afternoon we packed up and headed south. Thanks to my parents we were able to spend the night at a hotel Friday night so we could have all of Saturday to tour around Tombstone. It was cool to see all the original buildings and stuff that has been around for so many years. Everyone that worked there looked so authentic, so it made it feel like you were really in an old western town. We all had a great time. It was so fun to be able to go on a mini vacation and be able to do something out of the ordinary..thanks Mom and Dad!!
This guy was nice enough to take a picture with us.
This is the hearse that took everyone who was killed up to the Boot Hill grave yard. It is now worth about a million dollars.
This sign was in one of the Saloons.
This was at the Bird Cage theater. It was a saloon where they would drink and gamble and where the men would go for a "good time."
The court house.
If you know me, you know I am little morbid so the gallows were one of my favorites sites.
Our first stop was at the Boothill grave yard. These graves were the three men who were killed at the OK Carral.

That sounds like a fun little trip! Luckily Tyler and I watched "Gunfight at the OK Corral" on TV once or else I would have no idea what you were talking about. :) Oh, and we were really glad Danny got voted off American Idol too.
How fun!! Andy would love to see that town. One of his favorite movies is Tombstone. I didn't know you could go there!!!
Looks like you had a good time, but I'm not sure about the picture of you with Hayden in the gallows:)j/k We're excited to see you all in a few weeks.
That looks like so much fun! I have never been there but I like to see things I've never seen before. And an old western town would fit in that catagory. How far away is Tombstone from Phoenix? I would have like the gallos also. I have a weird curiosity for things like that.
How cool! Ya know, I have never heard of Tombstone! Maybe we'll have to go there sometime! It looks very interesting! It looks like you guys had a great time!
Out of all my years living in AZ I've never been to Tombstone! Looks like a lot of fun!
