Picture heavy – because it was “alien” and “diner” day! :)

Picture heavy – because it was “alien” and “diner” day! :)

Yesterday was “alien day” – we started out the day at Roswell! Yay! What a fun place and where we dropped most of our money! ha ha!

For your reference, here is an “Alien Identification chart”

Here’s a shot of the inside of the museum. It really is fun. But the best part was the “stuff”! 🙂

On our way to Albuquerque (that is the LAST time I’m spelling that!) we went through Vaughn and ate at Penny’s Diner – apparently it’s a chain in small odd towns. Good food and cute decor! Fun!

Here’s the fam!

Oddly, we ate at the “Owl Cafe” for dinner – also a Diner! It was in the parking lot of our hotel – and the story is that some “prospectors” who ate there, helped the owner to invent the green Chili Cheesburger – these “prospectors” turned out to be some of the scientists at the Trinity site and who worked at the White Sands Missile Range.


So, that’s the end of “Alien Diner” day! 🙂 It was fun and today we’re heading home – after letting the kids swim one more time in the hotel pool! By the way, THIS was a decent motel – the Sandia Conference center. Older place, but well run and clean and NOTHING broken.

So, tomorrow, “back to reality” – and I ran across this adorable idea on Craft. I guess it’s time to think about summer, eh?
