Flight 93 NM

We did manage to make it out the door for the last road trip of 2017. Because we were driving past it I decided it was time to stop at Flight 93 National Monument. I had avoided it previously but this year my kids did start asking about 9/11 and terrorism, the news cycle hasn't … Continue reading Flight 93 NM

Petroglyph NM 2016

Here's the thing about visiting National Parks, Monuments and Historic Sites in New Mexico. There are a ton. This one is literally 5 miles from my sister's house. It's easy access and I used to hike there when I lived in Albuquerque. The easy access and my familiarity with it made me forget that New … Continue reading Petroglyph NM 2016
