Fall Break Blowout

We didn't do much for 2.5 weeks while on fall break except hang out with some friends at home and stay in our 5 mile radius bubble BUT the last day we got a wild hair and we had ourselves an adventure. It was a blast. I have never gone to Tortilla Flats, AZ (which consist of a restaurant in the mountains. population 6.). So I told Claire we were going to the mountains. We packed up the car and headed out. Claire even drew us a map!! Here is our journey on the Apache Trail:

Gearing up to head out! We even packed the cooler. Big time!

We weren't but 5 minutes off on Hwy 88 (the apache trail) and we spotted this little gem. Goldfield Station. They have shops, food, and some other cool stuff but we just did the train ride. What luck...it was leaving 5 minutes after we arrived. So we hopped on for a 20 minute train ride!

Getting ready to ride the train. Yep, we all looked in to the wrong hole on the camera. haha!

The train conductor gave us all the history of the mining area and the mountains.

Paige loved the train and was pointing at everything she saw.

Claire loved the train ride too!

Off to Tortilla Flats for lunch! I told Claire we were going to the Wild West so she brought her boots to wear while we were in TF.

Who doesn't love a wall of money!!!

Claire on the saddle barstools for a photo op.

Paige isn't so sure about sitting on the saddle.

Tried to feed some ducks at Canyon Lake but some jet skis scared them off. So, we ate the fries ourselves.

Last stop...back at the Goldfield Mining place...for some ice cones (as Paige calls them)
