Holiday Road Trip: White Sands

This morning we drove a short ways to White Sands National Monument and spent the morning playing in the frozen gypsum sands and exploring the dunes (while trying not to lose the car). We spotted families playing on the hills and gave a short ride to a woman who had lost her van (and therefore her husband) while roaming the park and taking pictures.

After a visit to the nearby Museum of Space History in Alamogordo we officially ended our vacation with a large lunch at a chain restaraunt and drove all the way (477 miles) to Abilene, Texas so that we would arrive back in Cape Girardeau by Saturday night.

Say, "I can't see!"

A garden full of desert plants
and rockets is my kind of garden.
