Since Saturday is the only day Matt and I both share an "off" day from work we decided to do something fun. It's been great just staying in our Pj's all day and watching "Heroes" but even that can get pretty boring. Matt found a ghost town located East of Apache Junction so about a 30 min drive from us. I was surprised at how much fun it was. The town has gift stores, ice cream parlors, a Saloon, a shop where you can take those old time photos, museums, train rides, mine tours, gold mining, and shoot outs! (they don't start the live gun fights until November so we'll have to go back).
We had to go into the Lizard Museum and see the baby rattlers.
They were selling baby desert tortoises and we almost bought one. We are waiting until we get into our house to see if we have room.
This dummy was inside the outhouse and it really scared me haha!
Notice it's the Peterson Mercantile!
