A Tall Tale of Trouble in Tucson


It all started when Ally went on a little joy ride through the desert and got arrested for driving without a license.




Then Chris got thrown in the clunker too for trying to break his precious one out. I told him it'd be easier to just leave her in there, but the man don't like to listen . . .

So Karen done got shot for horse thievin' while trying to provide transportation for a double breakout. Ally, after pleading ignorance due to poor upbringing, was eventually cleared of all charges. (Though secretly she still wants to be just like her Momma.) The little child, forever faithful to the end, refuses to leave her mother's side and continues watch over her aging remains. As for Daddy, he still resides in the county lockup since no one has yet to post his bail.

























All drama aside, we couldn't have asked for a better visit to Old Tucson Studios. Who can complain about being outside on December 31st in 75 degree weather, wearing a t-shirt and a baseball cap to keep the sun out of your eyes? And there weren't any crowds since it's off-season. We enjoyed the horses, the children's rides, the stunt shows, and the old west buildings. Chris even took me into the haunted mineshaft, which wasn't too scary until I didn't realize a member of our small group had silently stepped behind me to take a picture.

If you're ready to see more pictures of Old Tucson and the desert, click here to be transported to Picasa (check AZ To NC). You'll also be able to see pictures of our visit to the Reid Park Zoo earlier that same day.







It was a beautiful zoo. I won't take
the time to blog about it 'cause (Big Surprise!) you can probably guess what we saw. If you're a fan of Ally or her cousins or animals, then you'll probably want to click over. Otherwise, feel free to continue surfing the web elsewhere.


This concludes the Arizona portion of our review. Tomorrow I shall hopefully conquer North Carolina and some of Chris' relatives. Thanks again, Eric and Courtney, for taking such good care of us in the SouthWest!
