Today we travelled from Tucson to Tombstone, which is only about an hour away. We had a great time walking around Historic Tombstone. It was amazing to go right inside the OK Corral, see where the gunfight took place and watch a reenactment. The gun fight was staged like a drama and was really well done. The kids had to keep checking that the guns were fake and Sarah couldn’t quite seem to grasp that people were being shot, falling to their death, but not dead. Repeatedly she would ask me if it was real. After it was over we were able to take our photos with the Earps & Doc Holiday and that hopefully gave her some reassurance everyone was still alive & well, although now that I think of it, the cowboys that were shot, weren’t there to greet afterwards. ☺ We also got to watch a film on the history of the town, walk through the old streets and ate lunch in one of the old saloons. It was really neat to “experience” the Wild West; it’s hard to believe it all happened only 130 years ago! It’s truly amazing how much the world has changed in the last century. Human nature of course is still the same, but technology seems to be moving at light speed. We left Tombstone late afternoon and headed for San Diego. We drove through pretty mountain ranges, valleys covered with hundreds of catcuses and had a front row seat to another spectacular sunset.
