We left Santa Fe in a morning snow storm and headed south toward White Sands. We found that Azul and Wobbles had great traction on the snowy roads as we didn’t slip once. White Sands is quite a bit lower in elevation than Santa Fe so we didn’t have to drive long for the snow […]
Alamogordo NM is the closest city to White Sands National Monument, so we made a few stops on our way out including to the excellent space museum there as well as to one of the pistachio farm stores.
Justin and I had been talking privately without the girls about keeping Kara verses bringing her back to the shelter where we originally found her. The shelter was big about if the pet wasn’t a good fit within the first 30 days you could bring it back for a full refund. I think they probably […]
We were amazed with how awesome the Albuquerque science museum was! It was so great, in fact, we spent 2 days there since one just wasn’t enough. So much to explore and learn!
This was an incredible monument with such a great slot canyon hike! What they are referring to as “tent” rocks are hoodoos made from igneous rock and through erosion have become visible to us. Many of these tent rocks had giant boulders balancing on top of them which is a pretty incredible sight!
We ended up going to Valles Caldera since it was so close and we wanted to see the source of the volcanic eruption that had created and helped form all those amazing caveats we saw at Bandelier National Monument.
Since Los Alamos and Bandelier are so close to one another we arrived at the campground in good time even after making some stops along the way. We even had enough time to take a hike!
Onward we went to Los Alamos. I had mixed feelings about visiting this place. It was such a big part of history and there were many brilliant scientists who lived here, but history that was made here also killed hundreds of thousands. Devastating.
You know how you hear of people say they woke up after being in Vegas to the realization that they have made some shocking choices? Well, I’m not much of a Vegas girl but we did just make a fairly spur of the moment choice that was definitely crazy. Were we drugged?? I’m not ruling […]
What on earth is Meow Wolf? And what kind of name is that anyway? Well, I’ll tell you the name sounds fitting after you have been to this strange world!
