Tombtown, AZ

Well, we are in Arizona now. Our first day here, we all jumped in the bus and headed to Tombtown! Also known as, Tombstone, AZ. This a trip we took mainly because lil' miss Kylie wanted too. This was her 3rd trip down there and she is the reason we started calling it Tombtown as that is what she said when she was little. She doesn't call it that now and she corrects the rest of us when we do. Of course we do it anyways. We stayed in a bed and breakfast that had a balcony over looking the main street there (Allen Street). It was a neat place to stay, although probably funner at a busier time of year.

We did a couple of tours, like the haunted history tour that Disney has there and Bird Cage Theater. It was actually kind of neat to read and hear about all the history that happened there and already have seen the Tombstone movies. Obviously, not everything in the movies is acurate, but some of it ties to what they say in their narratives. We also rode the the stage coach on a short tour that was kind of nice, but we could have done with out the gas the horses were passing back our way!!! Nasty!!!

Kylie had been looking forward to the Haunted History tour and was really having fun, then at the end of the first scene they have little air hoses pointed at the audience and they go off with a popping sound. We all jumped at the first one...then the first thing she did at each location was to look for the air hoses! It was a walking tour where you pushed a button when you were ready to watch it and she scooted a little further back each time. It was cute.

Of course, as always we stopped at Boot Hill on the way out of town... I think it is a little strange to wander around and look at headstones, but I have to giggle at the one that says, Here lies Lester Moore, 4 slugs from a 44 - No Les No more! I guess Les is probably way more popular in death than he was in life!

Since we are back in Phoenix now, we are working on all the final details of Christmas and waiting for the arrival of the jolly fellow!
