Crinkly's Good Ole American Family Road Trip Day 28: Chilling in the desert in old tombstone(9/24/15)

After breakfast, we gather the group and head over to Tombstone, a city I have wanted to visit since I first viewed the awesome movie by the same name. We check out the courthouse first, which is like a small history museum with some tidbits about the Earps and the local Indian tribes.

Crinkly found religion yesterday. Now a piece of his history.

Some of our heroes. 

Crinkly's fave.

Crinkly thinking its a fine day for a hanging. Had to break it to him this is just for show.

Example of the cells back then.

Crinkly thinks he is more valuable then he is.

Home sweet home for Crinkly.

Dont know if they had fans like that back then.

Crinkly trying how this saddle compares to his back home.

Crinkly found some great cousins.

Dont worry Crinkly, this isnt where we part ways.

My heroes in the flesh. Lets go challenge them to a draw.

Tombstone streets with plenty of walking area just need to watch out for those shiny horseless carriages.

He found his hero at lunch.

Toasting a badass (gotta be with a stache like that)

Down in the gift shop at the restaurant. Crinkly just about to kick these swinging doors open as he cant contain it any more.

We finally found the welcome sign. 

After walking around the museum, we walk around town (they have some decent sayings on t shirts) before going into Big nose Kate's tavern for lunch. Its an old-timey saloon with Tombstone playing on repeat (heaven!), an old man on guitar serenading the saloon (pretty good musician), and a prop guy who will dress you up and allow you to get photos (we, crinkly and I, were hung). We get a pizza for everyone to share (I made a joke that it was tombstone pizza, but after thinking about it, it actually kinda did taste like a tombstone pizza) and head out once everyone is done eating. We walk around a bit through town before heading back to the house to clean up for dinner. We meet back up for dinner at my uncles house where we have another family gathering with Warsteiner and I broke out a New Glarus Kriek for people to try; it was good with a nice cherry flavor (to me tasted like a cherry jolly rancher) but not as sour as I was hoping/expecting. After dinner and a nice little family party, we go back to our respective houses and talk a bit more before heading to bed.

Sharing one of my acquisitions from earlier in the trip with the family.
