On the way home from San Diego we decided to stop and do something that we have been wanting to do ever since our first drive out to California. Instead of driving our normal distance to El Paso and staying the night, we went a little (only about 30 miles) out of the way and stayed the night in Tombstone, AZ. We got there at around two in the afternoon... so we didn't exactly have a whole lot of time to site see... we squeezed in as much as we could before dark. The town (with the exception of the few bars and restaurants) literally dies at sundown. Plus it was freezing, so we were not interested in doing much walking around once it got dark. The things we did get to see were pretty awesome. All the historic landmarks that we all know from history lessons or the movie are now turned into museums that you can walk through. There are shops and carriages and people dressed the part. It was really neat to see. Several gunfight reenactments are performed all over town. We chose to see the one that actually takes place inside the OK Corral. It was very cheesy, but still cool to see. This was probably Savannah's favorite part of the afternoon.
Eric and the kids cruising the streets of Tombstone. Notice the soda in Savannah's hand... it's called Doc Holliday (tag line: double barrels of flavor)... this is what they serve/sell in Tombstone instead of Dr. Pepper. Cracked me up. Total Cheese.
Ryder wanted NOTHING to do with this picture. The cowboy in it tried to pick him up and that set Ryder off. The Savannah started laughing because Ryder was crying... chaos.
Sav: "Mom, what are those?"
Me: "Caskets, it's what you put people in when they die."
Sav: "WHAT!! There are dead people right there???!!"
Oops, probably should have explained that a little better. Took several minutes for her to understand that these caskets were just there for "decoration".
"Mom, take my picture doing what the Indian is doing." -Sav
