Czeching out Prescott, AZ

So far it's been a couple of relaxing days in Arizona with my parents.  It's been a pretty low-key visit so far which has been really nice.  My folks had doctor's appointments this morning in Prescott so while they did that, Kája and walked around Whiskey Row and the courthouse.

The Palace, a saloon that opened in 1877, is the oldest business in Arizona.

Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday were frequent visitors here back in the day.  I think that Kája got a kick out of the western cowboy vibe in the city.  I don't know if he was expecting Lemonade Joe to show up or what.  

The Yavapai County Courthouse was built in 1916 and in 1977 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.  Arizona is a "new" state having become one only in 1912 so it's interesting that an early 20th century building is historic.  In Czechland, historic places tend to be several hundred years old.

It was a beautiful day to just walk around and we made a Costco run after the doctor's appointments were done.  

Costco was a wee bit overwhelming for Kája.  So big, so many different things, everything jumbo sized, cheap prices but without sales tax included.  I expect that we'll go back again before we leave.

Family friends, Keith and Janet, came over for dinner tonight and it was a lovely time.  Tomorrow's adventure will be the Grand Canyon.
