Calico Ghost Town

On our drive home from California we stopped along the way at a little place called Calico Ghost town. It was a fun place to explore, very commercialized however!

This place was an old mining town in the middle of no where!

 We liked seeing all the shops and stores, imagining how life would have been back then.

Cute kids and best buddies!!
 
 We took a ride on the train that went around the town.

 
 The train ride was only a short ride but told a story about the town along the way.

 
Ty loves riding trains!

Side by side I can see a little resemblance!!

 It's true...we know where Caleb's good looks come from!!

Mara loved climbing to the top of the mountain! 

 
This was actually a home back in the days!

The rest of the way was just driving. We stopped in Vegas for the night and stayed at the Excalibur. The next day was the longest drive of my life! Carder did not want to be in his car seat or the car any more! Every stop we made got colder and colder! Oh how we miss California warm weather!
