We had a lot of fun, but we were disappointed in today's Albuquerque. We both remembered it as very cultured, but it was so insanely dirty and run down. The really small downtown area was still neat, but way too touristy. We both had memories of the old Indian ladies lining the street selling their jewelry and dried chilis, but now it was all white guys. Seriously? We found on the way back home that we should have stayed in downtown Santa Fe. Now THAT was an absolutely gorgeous little place. I found one cool lady in a corner packing up:
The boys love being out exploring with us and if we manage a lovey photo where they aren't punching each other I consider it a HUGE win!
The whole reason we went down there was for the hotel with an indoor water park, which was kind of a big disappointment. Let's just say they must have a really good photographer. The hotel was very old and run down. The water park was fun enough though. The boys liked it and Carson even braved the big surfing wall once. I didn't dare bring my camera into swim though.
We love driving to new places. The scenery wasn't amazing for the whole time, but we did find some pretty neat stuff. Carl has memories of spending time at his grandpa's in Taos so we took the trip home that way. We visited the Taos Pueblo which was really neat. Unfortunately we didn't feel totally welcome up there so we didn't get out to explore and left pretty quickly.
The weather was crazy and we ran into a few really neat storms. These clouds were so amazing!
A trip into the gift shop.....
We were in Random Town, Southern Colorado and I found this store sign. It matched my tattoo. :)
