Tombstone Arizona
Well, we almost left at 6am this morning. We had just a bit of a problem with the Even Brake (an extra brake on the tow vehicle) and had to stop to adjust that a couple of times. The drive itself was pretty uneventful, Poppa, of course, drove. Gramma rode shotgun most of the time but always shared the chair with the rest of us. She read a book to Grace while Justin read his new book "Football Hero" which he's already halfway done with! Amy did some work, lost to Grace at Crazy 8's 4 games to 2, and took a little nap with Justin and Grace! We made it to Tombstone in about 8 hours and unloaded the Jeep real quick to head over to the main street in Tombstone. We saw the Birdcage Theater with a lot of the original bullet holes still in the walls. We stopped in most of the shops searching for a Cowboy hat for Poppa, but apparently cowboys don't have as large of brain as Poppa does because he couldn't find one to fit! Then they had the reenactment of The OK Corral gunfight that was fun to watch - we might even add a video. We finished up the night with a nice quiet dinner at Six Gun City UNTIL thunder and lightening EXPLODED right behind us. Everyone in the restaurant jumped (really, they did, it wasn't just Amy jumping out of her chair). We made it back to the RV but no campfire or Smores for Gracie the Pooh tonight as it's howling out there, hope the Pickards can sleep without Daddy! Check back tomorrow to find out where we end up. Talk to you then.

Took a little name? Is that old west slang for a nap? Glad to see it's been fun so far. Keep it up! See ya'll soon (although not soon enough).
So what's the plan? Where y'all headed? Going through NC by chance?
