OK!!

Yes, we saw the OK Corral and the re-enactment yesterday. Mark was in heaven!

Tombstone was a lot of fun yesterday.  We had an easy drive down from Tucson.  We stopped for ice cream in a town called Benson.  They have 46 flavors of soft serve.  I chose Kahlua!  Next week they are doing 60 flavors, in honor of their 60th anniversary.  We had read that this was a MUST DO on the way to Tombstone.

The re-enactment was a hoot!  We also went to a video/diorama presentation on the history of Tombstone.  Of course, we got the t-shirts. 

This morning we are going to the Fluff and Fold up the street because laundry must be done on a long trip.

We will also see Boothill today, the courthouse, the Bird Cage theater, take a stage coach ride, and whatever else strikes our fancy until dinner.  After dinner, we are taking a Ghost Tour!



Mark fit right in to Tombstone like he always lived here.
Getting our tickets.  Mark is not the only cowboy in town.

Waiting for the re-enactment to start.


My own cowboy!
If there were really horses attached to this buckboard, he'd be ready to go.

Statues in the actual spots where they stood, according to a map Wyatt Earp drew years later.


Dinner at Big Nose Kate's Saloon

Drinking coffee because Wyatt Earp was a teetotaller.

Ah, forget that!  A shot of Jim Beam Ghost because we had never heard of it and was a limited release, no longer available in stores.  I didn't like it, so I don't care if it's no longer available.
