After driving through the snow in Ruidoso, we headed to Roswell, NM., "home of the aliens." :)
This place is famous because of Area 51 and all the alien 'sightings' in past years.
So, we had a contest to see who could spot their first alien! The winner got a quarter. :) You see, it doesn't matter how much $$$, it is the competition that makes it fun! The kids were totally silent, searching with anticipation for at least 30 minutes- ( ya mom!) :)
Zach found the first alien and won his 25 cents fair and square, but it did not stop the rest of us from trying to spot even more of them around the town.
While Roswell may not be a 'destination' place, it is a quirky and unique place to drive through on your way to or from Carlsbad. It also gave us an opportunity to talk about the falsehood of aliens.
Only in Roswell, can you find a McDonald's in the shape of a spaceship!
All the light posts in town have these faces. :)
Blessings,
Steph
