One year anniversary of Purple Puddles

Happy Birthday Purple Puddles!

This past Saturday my hubby decided we were going to go for a drive. We went for a drive alright! We were gone 6 hours! We first stopped off at Goldfield. It is a tourist trap that was built on the original sight on a gold mining town from the 1890's.
This is Elizabeth in a giant birdcage located on the street below the bordello. Why there is a huge birdcage I do not know. It was a cute photo op though.
This is picture taken at our 2nd stop in Tortilla Flats. I'm not sure of this formations name but my hubby called it "Nipple Rock". I guess it DOES look like a giant nipple huh. Kinda reminds me of how mine looked when I was breast feeding! LOL!
Here is "Princess Dribble" sitting in the one room schoolhouse in Tortilla Flat. It is filled with the history of the town, including articles, books & information about the owners both past & present.
The only restaurant in Tortilla Flat has walls & ceilings that are papered in currency both US & foreign. It is said that the last time the $$$ totaled over $80,000. They also counted currencies from 68 different countries. I can believe it because just sitting at our table I counted 27 different currencies.
This is a picture of the Superstition Mountians.

Our drive continued up to Roosevelt Lake & was very relaxing. This will be the last "drive" we will be taking before we move into our new home. I have less than a month to get everything packed up. Do you think my hubby will be any help? Surely you jest! On his days off he will be on Child Watch while I pack, toss & mark the boxes. I do manage to get a few boxes packed daily while caring for the kids, but when you have little ones it seems like everything you do takes 3X as long as it would normally.

I need to get packing now.
