On the road again!

We took a scenic drive up to Santa Fe for the day, enjoyed a nice lunch, and drove through their downtown area. Unfortunately we didn't get out to walk around because Gabrielle was asleep in her car seat, and it looked pretty "tourist-ish" anyway.

A couple of pictures taken from the car on the "Turquoise Trail" just east of Albuquerque.

Beautiful mountains around us while we drove (and Gabi took a quick morning nap).

There was a quick stop at a shop where we bought a magnet and a trinket box. They also had a small petting zoo. We didn't feed them anything, but did stretch our legs and enjoy checking out a few animals that we didn't find at the zoo the day before!

On our way home we stopped for lunch in Roswell, NM--alien central. They are pretty darn serious about their space stuff here (since supposedly there was a UFO that actually landed here years ago). If for no other reason, I would guess that it at least makes tourists curious!!! Check out the McDonald's play area that was shaped like a space station. Neat!!!


Gabrielle getting a little climbing in after lunch.


Nick getting a little PlayStation time on the video games...

Ronald McDonald as an astronaut.


The McFlurry is a spaceship too hanging from the ceiling.

Just a quick picture that I took while we were driving out of town. I'll say it again...they are pretty serious about their aliens! Even the lampposts have creepy eyes painted on them!
