C'mon! Let's take a trip...

Daniel's base Commander designated a four day weekend specifically for all of us Air Force-ians to discover New Mexico. Daniel and I have been excited and planning our trip for a couple of weeks now. We feel so lucky to be able to live in and discover New Mexico. What a truly beautiful state with so much to explore.
First on the trip is a stop at White Sands, followed by a visit to Carlsbad Caverns. The kids are thrilled and so excited about the prospect of sledding on sand! I am excited to see more of this great state, and Daniel is psyched about the caverns.

So far we have done a little of this...

Thank God! A two year old male without a nap is t-r-o-u-b-l-e. And I don't mean mischief, just exhaustion.

A lot of this...

Face time with a non-sleeping baby.

It was really no bother at all. She's so lovely to look and easily delighted - it was a pleasure indeed.

We stopped at a gorgeous, no, stunning mission. Daniel and I spotted this age-old structure as we drove by and just knew we had to turn around to take a picture of it. We ended up going inside and found ourselves blown away. What a beautiful, beautiful place.


We concluded our drive with a typically gorgeous New Mexico sunset. Only this time there was the backdrop of a mountain range. We marveled for mile upon mile at the beauty.


Do you want to join me on our trip? C'mon! It's going to be fun; just so long as you don't mind the noise of three small children, the occasional dirty diaper, and having your picture taken.
Okay, fine... I understand, those are sticky points. Why don't you just follow along with the pictures instead.

Next up... Sledding in over 100 degree heat! Tell me, what could be more fun than that?!
