Our Family Vacation

We finally took our very first family vacation. We have taken lots of fun trips to visit family, but this is the first trip we have ever taken just for the sake of taking a trip together. It was just the five of us, and it was wonderful! We went to Carlsbad Caverns National Park, and spent two days hiking around and in the magnificent caverns. The last day of our vacation, on our way home, we stopped in at the Living Desert Zoo and Gardens. It was relaxing and so much fun. We all wore cowboy hats and bandanas, and we each bought a necklace (a tradition we started on our last roadtrip to visit my family.) We got some really great pictures, and I wanted to share some of them with you. I think you can tell from the pictures that we all had a wonderful time. We plan to take many more family trips throughout Europe and Africa in the next few years!
