Road Trip to Bisbee


If you are hoping for a romantic weekend or a family adventure (are both possible?), Bisbee is a fun place to go. The town offers art, trinkets and good food with hardly a chain in sight. There are rumors of ghosts, a colorful history, great architecture and the Queen Mine is open for tours hosted by former miners.

This was our family's first memory making trip of 2010 and Grandma & Grandpa joined us, too. All of us found something of interest in Bisbee ... will Bisbee be listed on your "fun calendar" in 2010?

***************

Bisbee sleeps in a little so if you are early risers in need of a muffin & morning beverages, visit The Bisbee Coffee Company anytime after 6:30am
****
If you want to visit the Queen Mine, reservations in advance are recommended
****
Kartchner Caverns are about 1.5 hours away - reservations usually need to be made weeks/months in advance
****
The Copper Queen Hotel now has an Italian restaurant that replaced Winchester's. If you eat there, be sure to read the kids' menu and see if anyone in your group can lick your elbow - can you?!
