Albuquerque Zoo

We have missed our dear friends the Guerra's so much the past 5 months that we wanted to spend as much time with them as we could! We have always talked about taking a trip to Albuquerque, but there was never a good time for the both of us. Danielle is in nursing school and her two kiddos are both in school. Niles has always either been deployed or her husband was deployed...so there was never a good time to go. While I was in PA we made plans to make the trip when I came back to NM.

We FINALLY went this past weekend. Her husband was on a TDY but she and her two children went with us anyway! We had SOOO much fun!!! We all stayed in a military hotel that was huge and had everything you could ask for for such a little price! It was awesome! The housing had two bedrooms, a dining room, full kitchen, TV's in each room, high chairs for babies, dishes/utensils...EVERYTHING!

Saturday we went to the Zoo. We knew it was going to take us about 5 hours to walk through it, eat, and time for the kids to play while we were there. It was a large zoo and had a lot to see. Dorian had a ball. She knew almost all of the animals that we saw, the main attractions at least. And she could tell us what animals she knew. Her favorite was the "monnnnKEYS!" With so much to see and do she did not nap all day! This wasn't great for us later...but she had fun and that is all that mattered to us ha ha ha.

We decided to leave the zoo early and come back on Sunday to go to the Aquarium/Bontanical Gardens. We had enough walking, and Danielle is about 25 weeks pregnant so her feet were a little swollen....we called it a day!
