Albuquerque, New Mexico

Saturday found us at the park again in the morning.

The afternoon was spent driving up to Santa Fe to go to Jackalope.  It is a store that sells home and garden stuff.  Here is a quote from their website explaining what the store is … “Jackalope is not only an unparalleled shopping experience featuring colorful, rare and unusual items from dozens of cultures from around the world, but also a festive world “theme park” featuring several acres of New Mexico sun-drenched excitement including wildlife in the trees, a prairie dog village, an animal barn, a plant nursery, a furniture store, a mercado, a cafe … the list goes on”.  If you are ever in Santa Fe, make sure you go there.  We took the Turquoise Trail on the way back to Albuquerque stopping in Cerrillos, Golden and at the top of Sandia Crest in Albuquerque.  We enjoyed a very beautiful sunset but it was freezing cold and we were in our shorts.  That night we went and saw Charlie Daniels at a casino.  The audience was filled with many patriotic people (I won’t say anymore).
