Tuscon Trip, Day 2 Part II: Lunch and Old Tucson

March 17

After horseback riding, we stopped at Trident Grill. The dine-in area was still open (yay!). Me and Elisa ordered the fish n chips, Erik ordered a blt sandwich with clam chowder, Gabe ordered pasta shells, Ian Mac n cheese, grandpa Salmon and Grandma a salad. I thought the food was good, but not great. After the restaurant, we headed back to our rental house, but not before Erik stopped at Café a la Carte for 3 chocolate bombs. We ate them back at the house and although they were delicious, they were very rich so I was done after about 5 or so bites.:

Ian and his Mac n Cheese!

So Delicious!


Our last stop of the day was Old Tucson. We got there after 3:00 so the admission was half off. We went on a motor car ride, a carousel ride, a train ride, and a haunted mine walk-though. The rest of the time we just walked around, watched a short video on the actor JohnWayne in the town hall (Old Tuscan was where all the old westerns were filmed), browsed a shop or two (I bought a bracelet for myself, a magnet, and binoculars for Ian), and last but not least watched a live shoot-out (performed by actors, of course). We headed back to the house and relaxed for the rest of the evening. We didn’t even go anywhere for dinner, we just ate our leftovers. 

 
Riding the motorcars.  That was the longest line we had to wait in, most of the activities we just walk onto.

  1. It was nice that there were a few rides and not many people were there.
