I have to honestly say that I really love visiting there. I guess I never saw the beauty of that place, but everytime I visit.....it's amazing. Of course, visiting the kids is our highlight.
We started off the morning with a selfie on the plane. This is probably our last vacation this year (* insert sad face here * ) Sorry for the blurriness.....it was a little early for us!
Yay! We're going to New Mexico!
We landed, got our rental car and headed over to the kid's house.
After a quick tour of their home (it was for Paul since he'd never been there), we all were HUNGRY and we couldn't wait to start eating that awesome New Mexican cuisine.
The kids picked out a restaurant and we feasted on Mexican food topped with lots of green and red chiles. I love New Mexican flat enchiladas. There is something about that enchilada being flat and not rolled up that tastes so amazing.
Next stop was Central Ave. Lots of shopping to do and fun to be had.
Paul found this one shop that he didn't want to leave.
I believe he really wanted to spend some money in there, but never got that opportunity.
We had to wait so long for him to get done shopping, that Shay wanted to take selfies. I was told that we were going to act scared.....I played my part well.
This is the shot where I wanted to get out of the store, but Paul just kept shopping, and shopping, and shopping
After a HOT afternoon of shopping, we stopped off at Walmart and stocked up on a few things and headed back to the house. Paul and I really needed a nap.
After a little refreshing sleep.......we headed off to the horse track and played a little at the casino there. Didn't win anything off the ponies and didn't win off any of the slot machines either. Boo!
It was a beautiful night to be at the horse track. It was also a beautiful night to take a group selfie!
and another group selfie....................
The decision for dinner was to get a pizza. Yum......we LOVE pizza!
We took the pizza home because we had games to play. Paul and Shay picked out some crazy game where you wear these headbands and put cards on them and try to make your partner guess things. This is what my crazy partner looked like with his headband on.
We sure did enjoy this first day in Albuquerque. It was a great day!
Have to give a shout-out credit to Miss Shaylene for most of the pictures in this blog episode.
She was the one taking the most pictures on this first day.
