New Mexico History Museum and Home Time

Yesterday we went downtown to the New Mexico History Museum..it was pretty interesting. There were Native American artifacts, Spanish artifacts, history about both world wars, railroad history, etc. There were a lot of things, and we didn't get to see everything (like the inside of the Palace of the Governors, built in 1610, the oldest public building in continuous use constructed by European settlers in the continental United States) because we had dinner reservations at 5..we'll have to go back next time we visit. We had dinner at a nearby Mexican restaurant. I really love downtown Santa Fe..there are SO MANY shops and a lot of times there's music playing (this time there was a Native American dancing), the bells of the nearby chapel ring regularly, and just feels cultural and has a nice atmosphere. Santa Fe is just unique in general. Then we went home and played our last games of Catan for this trip..Dean is going to have withdrawals LOL

A fancy trunk


Well, the long vacation has come to an end..mom and I fly back to Alaska later today. It's been tiring, but a nice change too. I'll miss Santa Fe and Cindy and Dean! I miss Abby and it'll be nice to see her again! I hope she remembers me LOL. I'll have a lot of mail to catch up on..hopefully nothing too urgent lol. One reason mom and I stayed this long was to avoid all the pollen, but I guess Fairbanks was colder than normal and the pollen has just now started..that's going to be fun to go back to. D: My suitcase is STUFFED haha. Hopefully I'll see some cool glaciers on the flight to Alaska :D

13 – World Fair Trade Day: Do you try to buy certified fair trade products? No..oops lol

14 – World Migratory Bird Day: World Migratory Bird Day is observed twice a year during the second Saturday in May and again on the second Saturday in October. The goal is to raise awareness of issues affecting migratory birds and to inspire action around the world to take measures for their conservation. Do you live in a region that sees bird migrations in the spring and fall? Light pollution is a major threat to migratory birds. Does your municipality have any "Dim the Lights" policies in place to protect migratory birds? Yes, one reason we have Creamer's Field..to keep the birds away from the airport. I don't think so..
