2016 Memories: Spring Break Road Trip!!

 
 White Sands National Monument
White Sands was Isaac's favorite part of our Spring Break trip! He loved this place!  He kept climbing the sand piles and running down!

Views along the trail up Guadalupe Mountain, the tallest peak in Texas! 


Here we are on the top of Guadalupe Mountain! We made it to the summit! It was an exhausting hike, but very beautiful along the way! It was a 8.5 mile round-trip hike that climbed 3,000 feet to reach the top which is 8,750 feet!

Artesia, New Mexico! This is a beautiful city with interesting historical sites. There are some sculptures that depict the history of the area.


As we were driving through Fort Stockton, Texas we saw this amazing huge road runner statue! We saw some real road runners too, but they were too quick to get a good photo.


Seminole Canyon, Texas! This was a great place to walk around and see pictographs on the rock faces. There were anthropologists giving the tour of the canyon and describing the various prehistoric drawings on the canyon walls.




Garner State Park, Texas has the beautiful Rio Frio running through it! The water is crystal clear and lots of people were enjoying swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, and rope swings. It was a beautiful spot for our picnic lunch!
This is the entrance to Carlsbad Caverns! It was a very long walk down to the bottom of the cave, and an even longer walk back out after we spent a couple of hours exploring!


We found a field of snow in New Mexico as we were driving through one day! We just had to stop and check it out. We had not seen any snow since Isaac was about 2 years old. He really enjoyed it!  We all did!
