A quick getaway

Right after Griffin's game Saturday we drove down to Las Cruces, NM to visit Patrick's sister & her husband.  It's about three hours away, and we've never been there.  Soon after we checked in they met us at our hotel, then headed out to dinner.  It's been three years since we've seen them, so it was great to catch up.  Savannah was attached to her Aunt Dorothy.  After dinner we strolled around in the downtown area.

After we walked off dinner, we drove back to the hotel where we enjoyed lots and lots of swimming.

 

Sunday morning after breakfast we headed to White Sands

This was our first time here.  It was so beautiful!  We bought sleds for the kids and wax to make them go fast without sand sticking to them, then went in search of some good dunes.  We all had a great time sledding, rolling, and running down the dunes.  We also enjoyed burying the boys.  Just under the surface the sand was really cool.  It was a great time.  We will for sure be going back many times.

After we were completley worn out we enjoyed a late lunch/early dinner.  Then, we decided to catch a movie together.  We saw Rio and loved it!  After the movie it was time to say our goodbyes & head home.  It was a great quick trip!
