Summer Vacation – The Yurt
Tuesday, September 11th, 2018
From Odessa we would head to Vail Colorado. Phil kindly and mercifully decided to break up our drive from Odessa to Vail into two days. But we would need somewhere affordable to stay.
Through Air B&B Phil found a Yurt we could stay in for $68 a night.
Years from now we’ll be sitting around and someone will ask, “Remember that time we stayed in a Yurt?!” At least in my imagination someone’s gonna say that. I only knew what a yurt was because there was a time in my life that I was addicted to The Travel Channel. And I’ve see the documentary Babies in which one of the families from Mongolia lives in a yurt.
Summer Vacation – Roswell

From Carlsbad we arrived in Roswell NM. I was thrilled with the expectation of an alien sighting but sadly there were far too few for my liking. I did snap a photo of one as we sped by a hotel at least. Phil was not in Roswell to see aliens. He had in mind seeing animals at the Spring River Park and Zoo. I guess that was fun too.
Summer Vacation – Carlsbad Caverns

On August 3rd we left Texas and drove into to New Mexico. And if you’re driving through Southern New Mexico you might as well pull over and check out the Carlsbad Caverns. I had my concerns about it sure but on this side the adventure, I have to say I’m glad we did it!
We made the decision not to take the elevator ride down into the cave but to experience the hike down into it. The whole entire thing. The 1.25 mile or 75 story descent. An hour and half walk down down down into the cavern.
