Summer vacation in Red River

Nonna and Rascal Bill came to good ole NM for a much needed family visit.

We sure have missed having them close.

You seemed to remember them really well... which made me happy.

Towards the end of their visit we all headed down to Red River, NM to "vacation."  Mimi found us some great condo's to rent and we had a blast sharing a condo with Auntie Sunny's family.

You, lucky girl, got your own big bed the first night. 

Our condo was right next to a park.  The whole town was probably only about a mile from end to end.  So we visited a few shops, ate a lot, you got to go swimming, and we rode a group bike (which isn't easy!).  It was a nice little getaway.

 

We mixed up the drive home a little bit and drove along the "Enchanted Circle."  It was a beautiful drive that showcased EVERYTHING mystical about our desert home, New Mexico.  The Veterans Memorial was also along the way and it had amazing stories of men/women who have sacrificed so much for our countries.  Seeing places like that give me so much more appreciation for our military and the different wars that have been fought.  They make them more "real" for me.

 

 

All in all, it was a great trip!

Love you,

Mom
