Herb and Janet are in town (carls parents).for Herbs bday. They come down a lot more since Herb has retired. His bday was yesterday, so we went to dinner with them and Christy and Alexis, (his sister and neice)and then Holly and Julie.(carls cousins).That was fun, except that I had taken a muscle relaxer after work and it makes me REALLY drowsy. It works good, just makes me really sleepy. And it is doing more for my stomach pains that I thought. So that's an upside!

The drive to Tombstone is long. It was 2 1/2 hrs! But Herb and Janet bought a REALLY nice van- so we were all able to fit comfortably. And it has tv/dvd player, so we watched movies!

Alexis I think was bored even though she had a friend with her. She was okay I think once we got there. She's 13! LOL! She wanted her music, but she forgot her player!

Tombstone is pretty much a hole. It reminded me a lot of El Paso. Just UGLY dirt!We mostly drove around. Herb and Janet and Christy and Alexis and her friend got the carriage ride. Carl and I decided not to, I wasn't up for it, and was only 15 mins for $10 a person. I thought that was a little crazy! It's all a touristy trap now. Lunch was TERRIBLE!! We stopped at a little cafe place, the OK Cafe next to the OK Corral!

The cemetry was my favorite part. It was intresting to read the information on the deaths. They give you a little book that tells what happened to each person. A lot of them were just STUPID arguments or wierd accidents. Like one was over a cattle drive. The one wanted it to faster and the other wanted to go slower, they couldn't decide so the one guy shot and killed the other guy! Then of course there's the famous ones. But we didn't get over to the Ok corral. The court house was good too. Carl liked that one! He and Herb went inside, I just stayed outside and took pictures.

We watched National Treasure on the way home. One of my favorite movies! Alexis even enjoyed that one! She has to watch it for History for extra credit, because they are studying the Revolutionary war.

It was a fun time, but I wasn't impressed with Tombstone but I can now say I've been there!
