Our first week here was so lovely. Scott was home with us, and aside from unpacking, all we had to do was explore our new town. On top of that, the weather was cool, cloudy, rainy and heavenly all week long. Here are some pictures of us sledding at White Sands and visiting the Space Museum.
So, New Mexicans seems to have something of an obsession with space and I didn't get it until we went to the museum and got educated on the history that our town has with a lot of important "spacey" events. We share the desert with Holloman Air Force base and White Sands missile range (both of which are pretty cozy with NASA and the federal government). I won't share all the details, but you know that monkey that went to space? He was named HAM after Holloman Aero Med and his remains are buried here at our space museum. Now I almost feel famous just for living here!
I've never been to White Sands, although it's on my list of must-see places. I can move it up a few notches, right under "Visit the Gordons"
