Final thanksgiving 2012 post....finally....

Well the rest of the trip is really just a lot of driving and the occasional pulling over to change and feed jake.  Since we went a new southerly route that went right through roswell NM and pretty near carlsbad  national caverns, we decided to be spontaneous and extend our vacation a little and see it.  I love random things like that.  It was SOOO windy at the top of the hill where the visitor's center was.  It was crazy to think that underneath these boring brown hills was such a huge world of caves.  Apparently the indians knew about them long before they were "discovered" by explorers etc.  It was pretty cool.  I like going down into caves...it's kinda cool...I always feel like I'm somehow under the ocean when I'm down there-just the water has been drained out.  Jake was pretty good.  He was either happy and quite on his own (can you imagine the echoing down there if he started to scream??), happy with a binky, or taking a nap as we walked around.  Yeah, it meant we got back way late but it was worth it.


driving with daddy


a little bright for jake's tastes




don't get me wrong...red rock country can be cool and all...majestic....but it's just....not my brand of beauty...






outside the visitor center:

it's really hard to take cool pics in caves I learned...






this is when he saw a girl park ranger and instantly started smiling/flirting haha


It was a fun trip!
