Spent day with family and then relaxed at resort. Went to The Chocolate Grill for dinner and they had good ribs.
Day 3
- Tombstone
- Royal Elizabeth Inn
- Charro Steak
Drove to Tombstone and stayed for a few hours. Very touristy and gun fights were only ok. Drove to Tucson and stayed at The Royal Elizabeth Bed and Breakfast. This was a grand old house converted into a bed and breakfast. Very helpful staff and gorgeous rooms with access to full kitchen and private pool. Went to Charro Steak for dinner which was good, but pricey.
Day 4
Went to the Pima Air and Space Museum and spent a lot of time there seeing all the old planes. Drove up Mt. Lemmon and had picnic at the top.
Day 5
Drove to the Mongollon Rim in Payson and then drove the whole Rim. Gorgeous views and wonderful lakes throughout the drive. We stopped for a picnic and hiked down to a secluded lake. The roads were very difficult and we rented a truck to be able to drive the whole Rim. This was an all day trip.
Day 6
Relaxing day at the pool and then dinner and drinks with friends at Arizona Wilderness Brewing Co. A friend owns the business and we got a tour after dinner. Great craft beer selection and delicious food options.
Day 7
- Page Springs Cellars
- Oak Creek Vineyards & Winery
- Javelina Leap Vineyard
- Jerome
- Caduceus Cellars and Merkin Vineyards Tasting Room
- Bobby D’s BBQ
Drove to wineries in Cornville (Page Springs Cellars, Oak Creek Vineyards and Winery, and Javelina Leap Vineyard). We then went on to Jerome, which is a city built into and on top of a large hill. We went to Caduceus Cellars for more wine tastings and then to Bobby D’s BBQ for dinner with great views from the top of the hill.
