March 28 - Albuquerque, NM

This was spring break for our grandchildren, Anna & William and they wanted to spend the time with us knowing that we'd do something different with them.

We sure did. We stayed at Elephant Butte Lake State Park, http://www.truthorconsequencesnm.net/area_eb_lake.htm. There was the afternoon at the Hot Springs in Truth or Consequences, NM. This was not like anything they've done before.

They wanted to go to the lake. William fished for a while and then started throwing rocks at the bobber. Oh well, we can always go out for fish dinner. Anna on the other hand was interested in getting the tan thing going before summer. It was a little too cold for my liking.

Then there was the trip to Chloride, NM. It was an hour drive on winding roads to the town. There are now only 10 people living there but what a history. You can find more information with pictures here, http://www.ghosttowns.com/states/nm/chloride.html.

It also happened to be a time when the March winds kicked up. The last night there, we had very high winds. William kept asking if the RV would blow over. He sure did cuddle up that night.
