Spring Break in New Mexico

The good thing about Jeff having a large sales territory with his job is that once in a while we can manage to get a free trip out of tagging along on his business trip.  For Spring Break we went with Jeff down to New Mexico while he visited hospitals.  Our first stop was in Albuquerque.  Here we visited several fun museums.  Then we went to Las Cruces where we visited the White Sands National Monument.  It was amazing to see endless white sand dunes and with all the wind you would have thought we were in a blizzard!  They even have to plow the roads.  Then we went on to the Carlsbad Caverns.  This cave has a room almost 800 feet underground that could fit over 6 football fields inside.  See the amazing formations we found inside this cave.  We all had so much fun exploring this cave.  It was nice to enjoy 70 degree weather and sunshine while Denver got snow.  Happy Spring!

Looks like you had a great time. Randy informed everyone that you were in Mexico which brought about a lot of surprised "Oh my gosh! Don't they kill people down there?" and other such comments. I set them straight - "Carslbad Cavern is in NEW Mexico people - that's where they were going." And it doesn't look like you missed all the snow!

Hey! Carlsbad Caverns, eh? Awesome! You know, Dave lived in Carlsbad when he was little and that's where many of his family still live. We went down there for Thanksgiving 3 years ago. It was fun.
