Eating Arizona

our destination is Miami Arizona, Goal is to visit and see as much cool stuff as possible.
Brother in Law Joe, joins us. It's an adventure.

Wife and Joe want to look at antique shops, I'm down with used records and...eating my way through Arizona.

Fry Bread House. Good.

Indian Fry Bread that is folded into massive taco. How can you go wrong. Just the fry bread alone, delicious. C'mon, it's in the name fry bread. It's bread that is fried, there is nothing bad about that.









Miami is a trip. it was an absolute ghost town. It looked more like Tombstone, than Tombstone does. We love going to these towns, gives us the opurtiunity to swoop deals at auntique shops. Before they know what is cool, or valuable.



It was worth the trip when I saw this guys yard. He had wishing well on edge of his property, and was encouraging contributions. He is officially the laziest beggar in the world!


Stayed in hotel, that obviusly has a lot of pot smokers frequent it. The room 420 had sign replaced so often that hotel just wrote the room number on the wall. Please note the no smoking sign. That is just funny.

This was a great road trip, lots of interesting places, lots of interesting things and when you can top it of with an Elvis sighting. It just don't get any better.
Life is good.

Arizona bound

We have been itchin for some time off, for quite a while.

From 4:30am to 9pm, we run a very tight schedule. So when we vacation, the schedule goes out the window. It's a laptop, cell phone and gps. I'm pretty sure that is how our forefathers did it.

Destination: Miami Arizona

Reason: It looks like a cool old town





The van and ipod are loaded up, it's time to go!






Ok, so driving to Arizona is kinda boring. We only have Slim Jim's and rest stops to look forward too.


It doesn't take long before we find our first gem.





Stopped for gas and more slim jims, can not help but think this is crappy part of desert. Store has sign that you must take off hood upon entering. Apparently the activity of choice is to rob the gas station.









Back on the road. A whole lot of open space.



Lots of desert...Very boring.
