Highlights:
- Exploring New Mexico archeology (Petroglyphs National Monument), science (Very Large Array), nature (White Sands National Monument) and whatever you call this (Roswell)
- Successfully forcing both boys to ride large land-based animals and one boy to catch, clean, prepare and cook smaller, water-based animals
- Taking the tram to the top of Sandia Peak, back down again and then closing out the trip at the ballpark taking in the ‘topes.
Low-lights:
- Ruidoso, NM is at altitude, has many steep forest hills, not conducive to quick marathons
- Dylan added New Mexico to the list of states in which he has gotten car sick
- Dominated by my children in golf, chess and water sports
Thanks:
- To Bill and Marge for making the NM trip possible even if they were forced to sit this one out
- To Shannon, Luke and Dylan for being such great travelers
- To Katie for joining in on the running and surviving a kid-centric week in the wilderness
