Grrrr I have been anxiously awaiting to post about our Memorial Day weekend… FINALLY!
Matt plays for an independent league that travels back and forth from Bisbee and Tucson, so this last Memorial Day was the Bisbee trip and we decided with the Monday holiday we would take advantage of the cooler weather. We asked Mom and Dad to join us for the trip and we excitedly and surprisingly had our Tia Anna and Don (Dad’s sister) join us for the trip too. I first should add that my Dad was born and raised in Bisbee so the trip for me is always fun as I get to see where Dad’s mentality of morals with the “small town, big dreams” attitude mixed in with hard working people that need no reminder of how to be humble as they live the story book life of traveling to school and back up-hill…both ways.
Matt found a great place called the Clawson House, that if you are from Bisbee you know this place to be “the big house on top of high school hill”. To Matt and I… a place that fit the 3 families! I can’t tell you in detail what we experienced when we arrived to the most historic, old (but up kept), beautiful, vintage 3 bedroom, split kitchen, wrap-around porch, artful, inviting home. I had soooo much fun taking pictures of what was inside of the house as most of the house still had its original foundation. The whole weekend I felt as though I was in a 1950’s baseball movie, the ones that start with a person reading a book on their porch and wave to the neighbors as they go by, then they take a sip of their coffee and enjoy the simple life and the worry free life as the world to them is tuned out, where the mom calls from her kitchen window to her children who are playing at the neighborhood park, and at 6:00 on the dot everyday yells out that dinner is ready. That was me all weekend, the only thing I worried about was making sure the kids didn’t break anything, and that Micah didn’t fall off one of the thousands of hills Bisbee in known for. We had such a great weekend with the family, and an even better time on Sunday night as we managed to go through enough wine to fill a mini fridge. Matt’s team did ok, unfortunately he ended up breaking his finger :/
Here are just a FEW pictures I took of the house and Bisbee, I am not doing it justice!
***Some of the pictures have a vintage look to them as I filtered them through an iPhone app, yes there’s and app for that!***
