Ghost Town!

We decided that it would be fun to go check out a ghost town. The kids were picturing what you see on the movies - old and abandoned, tumbleweeds blowing by, and GHOSTS! They were confused when we got there and saw tons of people. We went to the Goldfield Gold Mine. It's a really cool old town near the Superstition Mountains. We didn't go inside any of the old buildings (they've turned them into shops and restaurants and things like that), but we wandered around outside where they have tons of old rusty machines. The kids climbed all over them and pulled levers and turned wheels. They had a great time. The weather was so awesome. Sunny and warm! You can take mine tours and pan for gold, but we decided to just keep this little outing a freebie. There was still plenty to see, and it was so fun watching the kids. Afterward, we went out for ice cream cones. Mmmm!
