What is there to see in Tombstone? Not much, unless you have a fat wallet and are willing to part with a substantial part of your money. The main street is filled with characters in western garb and period costumes, all hawking their wares. Not a single blank is fired in your proximity unless you have paid admission to one of their staged and over-priced gunfights that take place in a walled in arena. Still, we went there because our granddaughter, Kyla, wanted to go there. If you're a grandparent, you understand why we drove there. At least it was a short distance from the campground.
First on the agenda: a chance to have a picture taken as a "real" cowboy and cowgirl". The outfits were a "one size fits all" and no changing room was needed. Simple and quick.
Kyla stopped under the guy who was just "hanging around". When it is windy, I hear he is a real swinger.......
The weather was warm and sunny as Gary, Sherry and Kyla walked up and down the main street.
Best buy of the day was at the ice cream shop. They were selling huge cones for only $2.00. We all bought a cone. As you can see, Kyla had chocolate. She gets more bang for her buck because she wears her ice cream, as well as eats it. It took numerous napkins to get her face completely cleaned up.
Kyla checked out many different graves, but was especially interested in the women that were buried there. It's an interesting place, and it even has a section for the Chinese immigrants that settled in the area.
