Bisbee......closing out 2011

My youngest daughter, Amanda along with her husband Josh and my newest grandson Teague, have been visiting with me for Christmas and the New Year.  We've had a great visit.  On Saturday the last day of 2011 we went for a visit to Bisbee, Arizona which is just 30 miles from where I live here in Sierra Vista.  

It was a copper mining town having been founded in the late 1800's.  Now it is a very picturesque tourist town with lots of great architecture from the Victorian and Edwardian era.
 
There are great little places to have a great lunch or romantic dinner.  Of course there are also wonderful antique shops!!  That is the main reason I go there.

I just love the variety of things you can find in good antique and second hand stores.  Everything from old washing machines....

.......to old trunks......

......to glass ware.......

.....all kinds of pottery.....

....and everything in between!!!

We had lunch at Cafe Cornucopia.  It is some of the best lunch fare to be had in the town.  A nice fresh made soup and sandwich place.

It all looks good.......huh!!!!

 We went to the museum............. 

.......checked out all the shops on Main Street....

 ......petted a dog......

......and checked out the Copper Queen Hotel.....

   ......along with the rest of the town.....

 ......and finished tired and happy!!!

 Thanks for coming with me on our day

trip to Bisbee to finish out 2011.
