We recently returned to Uganda after about 6 weeks in the states, jumping all over America once again for all kinds of different purposes. Between this and that, we had a few spare days and we took them for ourselves, for a real family vacation. We tend to travel a lot, but it is hardly ever just to get away or site-see, so these few days offered us that opportunity.
We drove from Albuquerque, New Mexico to White Sands National Monument, but stopped in the quirky little town of Truth or Consequences for a couple of nights. There wasn't anything particularly striking in the area beyond the natural hot springs, and that was just fine with us because we mostly just wanted to relax and be together. We did drive through a wildlife refuge on the way there and stop by a petroglyph site on the return trip, both semi-interesting stops to break up the trip. Besides our couple of days at White Sands, which I'll feature soon, it was all quite uneventful. And sometimes uneventful is just what you need.
