Tombstone, Arizona

 Today we stopped in Tombstone, spent most of our morning walking around this cute historical town.  Walking along the wood planked walkway, and seeing a young man walk by in a old white shirt,  rolled up pants, suspenders and an old hat, can take you back to 1880's.  I could see what it was like back then, minus the black top road.  It was great, I love going to places like this and letting our kids see how people lived.
 We stood in the first bank of tombstone, FYI it had never been robbed, and we got to walk among the dead on boot hill. Took the kids to the Old Bird Cage Theatre, that was nothing more than a glorified brothel house. This is where Wyatt Earp meet his last wife, he also signed her license to work there, that was to be hung above the bed in order for her to work. The cool thing about it was that when the flooding of the mines in  Tombstone struck,  the theatre was boarded up with all it's fixtures and furnishings intact. So all of the original stuff was there for us to see.

the little rooms up top are why it was called the bird cage theatre.

that's where all the entertaining was done.
