New Mexico - Odds and Ends

Some odds and ends from our family time in New Mexico: 

It was 43 degrees when Emily and I left Hartford and 96 degrees when we landed in Albuquerque.
I love O'Hare
Really wish they had these on the East Coast.
Lee and I stayed at a really cool, historic hotel in downtown Albuquerque.

New Mexico - White Sands National Park

New Mexico has two national parks and with both of them about the same distance from Albuquerque, we could only choose one to visit while we were there because of our limited time. White Sands won, of course! We got up super early on Sunday morning and made the three hour drive there, getting there early enough to beat most of the crowds and so that it was not too hot to enjoy. We hiked a few different trails (unfortunately, the Boardwalk was closed for repairs) and took in all the beauty, checking another national park off of our list.

6am Starbucks trip!
















Arizona

Lee recently spent several days in Arizona with his brother and his family in Arizona. They hiked the Seven Falls Trail of the Sabino Canyon...
