Road Trip (New Mexico)

We hopped in the car and headed to Las Cruses, New Mexico. 

I know it's a bad picture, but I just stuck the camera out the sun roof so my dad could see the place of his birth. 

Love ya Daddy!

After that I was stopped and interrogated by the US Boarder Patrol.

They asked me if I was a citizen, and where I was going and if I was alone.

(all except the illegal Mexicans I had somehow managed to stuff in my trunk with the sleeping bags, pillows and camping gear I had already packed)

Seriously?

Then it was on to White Sands National Monument.

The kids played in the sand.

Until...

I found some small animal tracks in the sand.

 We followed them and wondered what we would find.

How exciting.

Except all we found was a puddle of soaked blood in the white sand.

I danced. 

 The boys ran.

It was a nice place to stop to run some energy off.
