Million Dollar and Silver Dollar Bars

We set out yesterday with my sister and her husband to play tourist in Jackson.  Last year Kirby and I celebrated our anniversary at the Cowboy Bar so we went back there and also to the Silver Dollar Bar at the Wort Hotel.  (Click HERE to see last year's posting).  This year we didn't sit on the saddles - it is just too hard for this old body of mine!
 The Million Dollar Cowboy Bar is a work of art.  It is pretty dark inside so it is hard to get a picture of all the wood that has been there for so many years.  It was fun sitting with my family who has lived here for almost fifty years and hear about all the changes through the years.  Things like "there used to be a dance floor where that bar is".  And also that the cute tables are new-ish.
We walked around town and went to some of the shops and then visited the Silver Dollar Bar.  Recently we were in Buffalo, Wy and visited the Occidental Hotel.  This was similar.  Beautiful!!
