We headed out early Friday morning. Micheal, Sarah and I rode in our van and Mom, Dad, Ches and Adam rode in the Mirano. We met up in Portales for breakfast. We went to a little diner. The food was alright but their version of hashbrowns was not up to par. LOL. :-) After breakfast we made it to Roswell and stopped to take a bathroom break and feed Sarah. Once that was done we finished the trip. First we met up with Nanny and Pappy in Cloudcroft for a late lunch and then headed back into Ruidoso to check into our cabin. We had a good time with Nanny and Pappy! Audra and Ben were there too and that was an awesome surprise! :-) Nanny and Pappy recently adopted a dog and they named it Foxy. It is the funniest thing! It's teeny tiny and has the biggest ears ever. They love it so much! We ate porkchops and fried potatoes. It was yummy! We didn't stay very long because Sarah was a little fussy and we were just ready to be at our cabin and get settled in for the evening. We said our goodbyes and headed out.
We arrived at our cabin about 45 minutes later and got unloaded. The first thing I did was unpack and get our room organized. Living out of a suitcase with a baby was just not an option for me. :-) Since Sarah had been in and out of the car all day long I decided that we were done with outings for the day so we just hung out at the cabin for the rest of the evening. Mom, Ches, Micheal and I played cards while Adam and Dad played golf. And sweet Sarah hung out on the balcony with us. :-)
The next morning we woke up and had a lazy morning. Dad cooked everyone breakfast and we played cards and hung out. We got ready and headed out to lunch later that afternoon. We went to K-Bob's. It was so yummy! Then it was back to the cabin to chill some more. We played some more games (that is our favorite thing to do in Ruidoso, if you can't tell!) LOL! The guys played golf some more and I took a nap! :-) That was so nice! We lounged around and ordered pizza for dinner. To write about it sounds really boring LOL but it was so wonderful to just be together with no agenda!
The next day we decided to head out to Cloudcroft to go explore. It took like forever and a day to get there but it was a nice trip. When we got there we went to eat, I think the place was called Jakes. It was so yummy! They had delicious burgers! Yum!! After we ate I let Sarah taste the lemon from my water. She made a hilarious face and then smiled real big. I think she is going to like sour stuff like her mama! After we ate we shopped around for a bit and then went to the Old Apple Barn. It's a neat shop full of all kinds of souvenirs and cute signs. And they sell homemade Apple Pie and old fashioned floats and all kinds of yummy treats! We hung out there for a while and then made the long trip back to Ruidoso. When we got back we played some more cards and ate some yummy pie from the Apple Barn. :-)
The next day was the last full day of our trip. We went to lunch at Casablanca, it was delish! Then we all loaded up and went to Alamogordo for the day. We dropped Adam and Dad off at the Space Museum while Micheal, Mom, Ches, Sarah and I went to the zoo. It was a small little zoo but we still had a good time. Afterwards we picked up Dad and Adam and headed out to White Sands. It was so much fun. My back was hurting so I didn't play much. I managed to get up the hill and slide down once and after that I decided it was better to just hang out with Sarah. :-) After White Sands we drove back into Alamogordo and and had dinner at Long John Silvers. We had not been there in so long and it was yum! We got back to the cabin and put Sarah to bed and then we stayed up and played cards some more and just soaked up our last night.
The next morning we all got up and around. We had to be out of the cabin by 11:00. We got everything packed up and situated and then headed downtown for some shopping and lunch. We ate at our favorite Italian Place, Michealangelos. But it was under new ownership so everything was different. I enjoyed the food but it wasn't as good as the original place so we probably won't be going back. After lunch we walked down to the ice cream parlor and had some yummy dessert. Then it was time to hit the road back home. After a quick stop for gas we were on our way.
We had a wonderful trip and we are so grateful for the chance to get away for a bit and have some fun!
