William and I had amazing time last weekend in Arizona. I've to the point where I can enjoy our little adventures. It's still quite difficult being apart... but I could live with regular adventures. They keep things interesting!
I flew into Tucson late Friday night. William picked me up but not until he had a brief run in with the Border Patrol. Apparently you should hesitate to think about the answers to their questions... oh well.
We stayed the night in Sierra Vista (just outside of Ft. Huachuca). In the morning, William brought me Sonic in bed. Yes, I said it. Sonic. And you all thought I had lost my marbles when I got him a Sonic cake. Nope. I just know my husband.
We headed out to Bisbee, Arizona. It's only like 30 minutes from Sierra Vista. A nice little drive.
It's a super cute town. Our hotel is the windows that stick out. It was called the Letson.
We went to a Mine before we checked into our room. There was a nice little museum and gift shop set up.
This was apparently the safety reporting space. I'm not entirely sure how it worked... but I liked how it looked.
Here I am in my mine exploring garb. Cute right?
And of course... William in his.
This man was our tour guide... he's a real live miner. Although this mine is closed now, he grew up working in a nearby mine. You can also see the mine entrance and the little "train" we rode on.
Mine rocks...
This is the mine shaft. Original timber still in place... which is why we signed our life away before entering it. I was feeling safe until he started explaining why they only used parts of the mine for the tour... and showing us all the tunnels blocked by collapses.
The signal bell next to the elevator. Pretty cool!
Map of the mine... with William's head lamp shining on it.
This is our beautiful room at the Letson. It even had a skylight!
Little did I know that William had driven there the day before to leave Champagne and roses in our room for me. Very sweet! I tried to keep a rose... but William squished it on our ride home. Typical!
Quite possibly the best bed I've ever slept in!
Oh... and a picture of my new purse/camera bag!! Cute right! It was so perfect on our trip. It fit everything I needed it to with room to spare. Plus it was super stylish and had a perfect cross body strap so that I could have my hands free for taking pictures while walking around.
Fun looking horse!
Pretty building and check out that moon!
This was the bark park!
And this was a very interesting house. Definitely someone interesting living there too. He was blasting some sort of "propaganda" over a loud speaker attached to his house. This definitely demonstrates the accepting/ artistic side of Bisbee. It's also know for being very gay friendly.
Second half of the pictures to come!
