Tombstone is about 48 miles from Douglas. There is much to see and do in Tombstone, especially for the kids. I still enjoy visiting there. Last summer when Cameron was down for part of the summer, he and I spent the night and did some of the ghost tours there. It was fun!!

This is a link to a lot of information about Tombstone.
And we also have some family history there. Many years ago I was reading an article on the 100th anniversary of the Gunfight at the OK Corral. I read about our Phoenix cousins' grandfather, Emil Marks, actually witnessing it. Here is a link to my blog where I wrote about it.

We are all looking forward to July!!!
Wow, so cool that your Phoenix cousins' grandfather witnessing the Gunfight at the OK Corral. I love going to Tombstone too. I'm sorry I won't be able to make it to Aunt Teresa's birthday as I will be gone visiting my sister Phyllis. I will look forward to hearing ALL the fun details.
