We brought back David a super fancy rock (a geode) for his treasure chest/collection box and a postcard of Route 66.
Mikko got a Route 66 metal shot glass to practice drinking out of. Damon's idea which was brilliant. I'll assure you that it will only be used for Mikko's milk and water.
Lunch in Old Town - super yummy quesadillas.
Walking around the Plaza
We went on a "Journey of Discovery" around Albuquerque. That is what the tour guide kept calling the tour and I couldn't get enough of it. It was a pretty "interesting" tour. One stop was the Fruit Basket of Albuquerque.
Chili peppers everywhere.
Overlooking Albquerque and the Sandia mountains.
We went up the longest tram in the world to the top of a mountain - 2.7 miles up. A little "courage" was needed to make it up.
Beautiful sunset on our way up, up, up.
The view from the top was unbelievable.
Watching a storm cloud pass over Albuquerque from the mountain top - one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
Damon went on a tour of Acoma/Sky City - a Pueblo town built up on a mesa. The oldest continuously inhabited community in North America.
View from on top of the mesa.
He took a hike down the mesa. ________________
I went to a Deferred Compensation conference in Albuquerque with Mark. Damon got to come along. Had a great conference and a little bit of free time to explore. I've never been to the southwest. Loved the dry warm weather.
BIG THANK YOU to my parents and Carol for taking such great care of the kids. Loved getting the great reports about how good they both were. They have the greatest grandparents. Getting them fed, dressed, both to different daycares. Amazing!
