We stopped by Carlsbad, New Mexico, on our way to Utah recently and we saw the wonders of the caverns. The cool temperature underground was so refreshing and the exercise of walking for nearly 3 hours was great after sitting in the car for 7 hours. I've always been fascinated by stalagtites (they hang down from the ceiling) and stalagmites (they grow up from the floor). We stayed until dusk and watched the bats leave the cave as they swirled out and flew off. We had so much fun. Steve bought a metal bat that hangs upside-down that we put on our back patio. It's very cute. We spent the night in Roswell, New Mexico. The kids were dissapointed we missed the alien festival by two weeks. We did get a kick out of the space ship that crashed into the front of the WalMart there.
