When my sister and her hubby visited us last October, we were discussing living in different places and how once you move someplace you do some fun new stuff then never really explore all the things you said you would. We mentioned a few of the things we have done since moving to ABQ and how we enjoyed them, but we had some southern New Mexico places yet to see.
They agreed to come back and do a small road trip with us.
One of the McDonalds is part alien ship, so we had to eat there. Sadly we were all disapointed that it was just the regular menu, nothing special for a special place.
If you don't know where you are with signs like this, I can't help you.
Our second stop was the Roswell International UFO Museum and Research Center. I should have gotten a Tshirt there. But we shouldn't hold on to regret about not getting a Tshirt. (But I really wanted one and should have gotten one!)
We had a great time finding little details at the Roswell Bricktown. What a cool gem of a thing to see. Plus inside with the cool air is always welcome in NM.
You start going down and you keep right on going down, and down, and down, and DOWN. It is a heck of a long ways down into the Earth I tell you!!! 900+ feet if I recall correctly..jpg)
High on D's list was Carlsbad Caverns. So off we went. This was an unexpected pleasure for me. I was surprised how much I liked it. I'm also so happy I started my daily walks before we went. I cannot remember exactly but it was over 14,000 steps that day.
Absolutely breathtaking when you walk up on this giant chasm in the ground.

It was an excellent road trip and we would love to have them back to see other places.
