Mini Vacation


We decided to take a much needed mini family vacation. We drove down to Roswell, Nm home to all things alien & UFO. We did a tour of the UFO museum which was intresting. We had dinner at a great steakhouse called the Cattle Baron. After diner we headed to a town called Artisa to stay for the night. The kids were thrilled to go swimming in the hotel pool. We all had a lot of fun swimming.
In the morining after a good breakfast we looked at some stuff in the quanit town of Artisa before heading down to Carlsbad. At Carlsbad Caverns we decided to do the natural enterance to the cave, it is a longer hike, but well worth the effort. The kids did great. Even Savannh did great walked the whole way. We all enjoyed being down in the cave it was neat for the kids who have never been in a cave quite so big. After our cave tour was done we enjoyed some lunch, and the kids all picked out some cool hard hats with lights. We then headed back to Roswell to eat at a bbq place we had seen the day before. it did not disappoint The Snazzy Pig was delicous. With full bellies we drove home. It was a great mini vacation that we all enjoyed very much.
