Today it is Katie's birthday. We met her for breakfast at the usual time. We went to Breugger's Bagels. It was very good. We split a bagel bundle and shared some cream cheese. The best part is they had pumpkin spice coffee. I love when autumn rolls around and I can get pumpkin almost anything. After a great birthday breakfast with Katie, Mom, Dad, and I headed down to Tombstone. Upon our arrival, I felt as though we had stepped back a century. The first thing we saw in Tombstone was an historama on 19th century, Tombstone, AZ. The rest of the time there we walked around the small wild west town. We also got to see the building where the newspaper, the Tombstone Epitaph, was printed.
One of the coolest things about Tombstone was the O.K. Corral Museum. The Corral was the site of the infamous gunfight which took place between Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and company and the Clanton brothers and some friends. They had life-size representations of the eight men involved at the scene of where the gunfight occurred. There was an audio commentary that gave an account of what really took place on October 26, 1881.
Once we got back to Tucson, we cleaned out a lot of papers from the car and began to pack up our things in the motel room. Tomorrow we hit the road again. Our first stop on our trip back is in Odessa, Texas.
After Katie finished her classes, we went to Sweet Tomatoes for the second straight Wednesday. This time, we went to celebrate Katie's 26th birthday. We had a great time. In addition to the food being plentiful, fresh, and savory, the atmosphere was wonderful. I think it was one of the best meals that we've had together.
After the meal, we came back to the motel so that Katie could open up some presents. We all relaxed and enjoyed watching some of Mr. Deeds and the Daily Show and Colbert Report. This time together as a family has been very special. I look forward to when we will have time like this again. I love my family very much.
