This Tuesday Adventure was actually last Tuesday, and it wasn’t with my sweet husband. I drove all day Monday with my wonderful parents to Yuma, Arizona where my nephew and his darling wife live. Then on Tuesday we did some sight seeing around town.

First we went to this statue that tells about the Mormon Batallion. They stopped here as they marched 1900 miles. It is a beautiful statue. It was nice to see it!!

We went to the Territorial Prison. That was quite interesting. It was in use from 1876 to 1909. It was very interesting to see the prison and hear about the inmates.

This picture (above) is of one of the guard towers. It has a well below it. Clever. 

Some of the inmates used their time in prison doing crafts and learning a skill. These beautiful stitched items were made by one of the inmates. Wow, who knew?

A row of cells.

My favorite story is that the prison was used for a while as the high school. Their mascot is the “Criminals”. How funny!!!This sweet puppy is Patches. He is a sweetheart and very fun to have around. He is my nephew and his wife’s puppy (that makes him my great nephew). It was so fun to see him. Squishy!!!

It was a great Tuesday Adventure! My sweet darlin’ stayed home and watched the daycare kids for me so I could go with my parents. What a sweetheart!
