Field Trip

My friend Andrea is moving to Georgia in a few months and as a result has created a "bucket list" of things to see while she is in the great state of Arizona. One of these things was to go to Jerome AZ. It is about a 2 hour drive north of Phoenix.

So Andrea, Kirsten and I decided to go to Jerome on Monday January 21 (MLK day). On our way we drove past the Bad Ass BBQ. It just so happens that going to the Bad Ass BBQ was something that Kirsten wanted to check off of her something-I-need-to-do-before-I-die list. So, we were able to kill two birds with one stone.

I really wanted to buy something from the Bad Ass Boutique. But, the Bad Ass was closed. Imagine this conversation:
Someone: That is the cutest shirt ever. Where did you get it?
Me: Just at some Bad Ass Boutique.
Someone: [Gasp]













We also went to Tuzigoot.... ruins from the Southern Sinagua Civilization. Picture below.










Below are pictures taken in Jerome. It's a small mining community that has turned "artsy".

Too bad.... no bad ass shirts. It looked like it was cold on your trip, who knew AZ could be so.

I probably couldn't even get to your blog now, if my computer had a blocker for obscene sights--thanks to your lovely language! Of course, I don't have a blocker like that, so I am the type that enjoyed the obscenities.

I hate to ditto the above comments but that conversation is very funny and you look hot in your hat!!
