Sunny Arizona - take 1


So for Thanksgiving this year, we decided to come see my dad's grandpa (who's 96!)  He lives is sunny Tucson, AZ so it was a good reason to escape the rain in Portland!   The part I was most excited about though was staying in a house with my cousins Megan and Cam.   We all got the house around the same time and I think within about 10 mins or so we were all in princess dresses (Caits included) and walking around in high heels (well, not Cam :).    Let's just say it took us a while to go to bed that night because Megan and I got to share a room! (ie trouble).


We kicked things off in true Tucson fashion at the Old Tucson Studios...  It's an old movie set town where they've filmed all sorts of cowboy movies (according to the tour guide John Wayne was in some of them I think).  We had fun on the carousel and old time cars and then checked out some "shows".. let's see there were the flamenco dancers at the Grand Palace Saloon, then there was the shoot out in front of the courthouse (it scared me and Caits so we didn't watch much!)    We topped it off with an old fashion stage coach ride and an ice cream cone... and one more ride on the carousel of course!
