Sunday Afternoon in Jerome

I wish this car was mine!

On Sunday, my Sweetie and I decided to take an impromptu drive up to Jerome, since we had never been there together (exploring Arizona is one of our favorite things to do, and taking road trips around the state is always a grand time for us) and we were in the mood for adventure. We spent a lazy afternoon walking up and down the streets and window shopping before having a drink at The Spirit Room, followed by a wonderful dinner at the Asylum Restaurant. The Asylum Resaturant is located at the Jerome Grand Hotel, a former hospital that is rumored to be rather haunted (though most of Jerome is believed to live up to its ghost town status.) Our visit was over all too soon, and we are itching to head up there again very soon!

We named our pony Buck--he proved to be a faithful steed.




You gotta take at least one Myspace shot.

My Sweetie is serious about his work.




We found a little waterfall--wouldn't you like to have this in your backyard?

  9. Thank you for all the swell comments!

    Indeed, that is the safest and cheapest (no feeding required) horse around!

    Doug--it's sitting outside the Liberty Theatre, which opened in 1918. The museum was closed when we were there, but it's been restored and I think they still show movies.
