Prescott - Part 1

So, we've been in Prescott for about 10 months now, and we're already moving in less than 2 weeks. We knew all along that we weren't going to be here long, but we're still sad to go. I don't want to forget all the great spots in Prescott, so I've been trying to get some pictures. Here are some pictures of three of our favorite places - Acker Park, Watson Lake, and the Square:

Acker Park is just a hop, skip, and a jump away from our place. There aren't any slides, but there's this fun hill you can climb up to and see all of Prescott. You can see Thumb Butte in the background. It's a central landmark of Prescott.

There's a little open grassy spot just down from the top of the hill.

We also love Watson Lake. It's about 10 minutes up the road from us. It's pretty small but quite beautiful.

The best part of the lake is - of course - the playground. Jane and Audrey love to swing next to each other.

The courthouse square is about a half mile from our apartment, so we like to walk there on sunny days and warm evenings. The square is the main gathering place in Prescott. During the summer, there's something going on there almost every night, with street markets most weekends. Jane's favorite part is the fountain.

 

We set out Friday to take some pictures of the square and happened upon a Tea Party rally. At first I thought the guy conducting was John McCain, but it turned out not to be. I guess it would have been more crowded if he had been there. Anyway, Jane loves to climb up and down the steps of the courthouse.

 

The square is lined with shops and restaurants as you can see in the background. This is downtown Prescott, folks!

And for good measure, two happy sisters!

 Stay tuned for more pictures of our favorite spots!
