Hiking in the Sandia's and the Nuclear Museum

What gorgeous sites there are around here and wonderful hiking excursions.  Took a short hike up the La Luz Trail a few days ago and hope to do the whole thing next Friday.  If you never hear from us again we are somewhere on the westside of the Sandia's!  Everyone says just take it slow, enjoy the scenery and YOU'LL MAKE IT!  Here a few pics from the lower 2 miles of the 9.2 we will be hiking next week.






The nuclear museum is a definite "must see" if you are 55 yrs. old or older.  There are things we remember as kids that happened in our lifetime - kids today only read about them - we relate.


This is Wayne next to "Little Man" and "Fat Boy" - recreations of what was dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima.  (The man in the middle is just an average sized man - thought I might need to clarify that!) Below is the plane that dropped them.


The other 2 couples arrived yesterday and the day before for our project to begin on Monday.  With all the hoopla in Albuquerque we felt the need to bring them in early as this area is going to be soooo congested with the Balloon Fiesta starting with Mass Ascension at 7:00 a.m. tomorrow.  Sarah and Evangeline are on their way - it's going to be a weekend to remember for all time.  Wayne and I had this on our bucket list for 3 years....... RV crazy? :)
