Vacation ~ Day # 8 June 28th ~ New Mexico Border to Roswell N.M.

As the sign says...Welcome to New Mexico!

Our original plans were to head South to El Paso but being on vacation plans can be changed...after studying the map and discussing it with Fred we headed to Roswell New Mexico and then from there to Fort Stockton Texas...



Michael is enjoying his wedgets!


Yes New Mexico is nothing like Colorado but it has a beauty all it's own.

We watched Storm clouds most of the afternoon...
(Sorry about the photo quality most of these photos were taken through the windows of the truck.)


Awesome....


Was really loving these buttes and the storm clouds were beautiful too!


Michael still playing with his wedgets...he was having fun as long as Daddy didn't step on the brakes, ekk!




This little tree has got some gumption!


There were mountains in the distance...

We finally arrived in Roswell N.M. Monday evening. Fred and I were both tired so we decided to find a Hotel...We did not realize that Roswell was getting ready for a UFO festival and we found the Hotels were all booked, ugh! We finally found a Hotel 6 with a room and it will be the last Hotel 6 I'll ever stay in, sheesh! Them UFO festival goers were up all night partying, ugh! It was awful. People kept trying to get in our Hotel room door, I couldn't wait to get home!

We got a chuckle at all the aliens around town. This one was at KFC and even Walmart had UFO' and Aliens on their Store front!

I had to laugh at the telephone directory, sheesh!
We didn't see any aliens and couldn't wait to get the heck out of Roswell the next morning and head home!
Stay tuned...One more day left of vacation :o)
