The second day of their visit was to be
the warmest so we headed to the White Sands for some sand sledding
and a picnic.
On the third day we visited the Old
Mesilla, Erin bought some pottery that we will deliver to her on our
return. We visited shops and grandfather and grandson had ice cream.
On the fourth day we checked out the
nice indoor Aquatic Center and had the place almost to ourselves.
Grandfather was the only one brave enough to try the dark enclosed
water slide that requires a blind jump into a wall of water at the
start. Mav was worn out and had a nice nap with his kitty that goes
everywhere with him these days. Later we went back to a famous
Mexican restaurant called La Posta that has large tropical parrots on
view. It was the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday and there was live
music and merriment going on.
On their last day we only had time to
drive to the airport and eat at Burger King. It takes less than two
hours to return to Denver so not a bad travel day for them. We hope
maybe next year that we can convince some other family members to
come visit us.
