Resting

Sitting here at my in-laws in Texas and thought I'd update last week's travels. We took 5 days to get to Texas and other than the Phoenix zoo, we didn't do much. That is until we made it to Alamogordo, NM.

This is where the White Sands National Monument is. It was cold! We actually came very close to just burying ourselves at home and not going anywhere! But, we decided to at least check it out and we're so glad we did! It was a really amazing place. The sand isn't the sand we were used to. It's an almost powder substance made of gypsum (selenite crystals are formed when the water evaporates from this sand-unfortunately we didn't make it to the lake bad where you can see the crystals).

It was fun to explore and then we bought a sled! Loved it there!

Then, we took a nap, packed up and drove 500 miles that night! Yikes!

Did I mention our vehicle heater went out in the middle of our trip? It was 26° out ... freezing!

Happy travels!
