411 The Walters Bunch

Day 4  I am glad we left Colorado Springs early for Albuquerque, NM. It still took more than four hours, we really liked being able to check in before lunch time and having the rest of the afternoon and evening to relax as we please. We really enjoyed the games at the KOA. The kids got pretty good at horseshoes. Our travel days usually do not allow for much down time so this day was really fun. L takes horseshoes seriously. Daddy does to!  Day 5 Today we visited the New Mexico Museum of Science and History. T is really into dinosaurs right now so he was really excited about this visit.

Finally Arrive! Beautiful Night Views. Day 2: We found out why an 8 year old cannot pack himself.  I asked, " Did you pack clothes that you will wear?" .
