The day after Christmas, we hopped on a plane and left Detroit just before six inches of snow were dumped on the Motor City. The storm caused all kinds of trouble and canceled flights, but luckily, we were safely on our way to LAX for our annual California adventure by then.
Our first stop on the trip was Calico Ghost Town. As the name suggests, it’s a real life ghost town left behind from the days of the California Gold Rush. These days, it’s more of a historical park with tours of the mines, restaurants, saloons and some souvenir shops.
