Tombstone, AZ was our destination for a day trip as we stepped back in time for some cowboy history on Valentine’s Day. Tombstone was impressive since so much detailed history is known and preserved. We walked along the boardwalk with our two little sheriffs. At the OK Corral we learned about the famous shootout and the story of Tombstone. Then we watched a gunfight in the street before taking a trolley tour around town. On the tour we saw Wyatt Earp’s house, the original county courthouse, and Boothill Graveyard which we later went back to explore on our own. Most of the graves were marked “Unknown,” but there were some interesting epitaphs too.

My valentines were so handsome at dinner that I couldn’t resist a picture. Though it was an unconventional way to spend Valentine’s Day, there’s nothing like being with the people I love most!
