Day Thirteen - Carlsbad

Carlsbad Caverns was just as I remembered it. Driving all the way to Carlsbad was worth the exhaustion. Plus, we were able to leave the cat at the hotel until we were done with our tour. Otherwise, we would have had to drive all the way back to Roswell.

This was the last stop on our trip and realizing that was a bit of a downer, but it was also exciting because I realized that we had had such a wonderful trip.

Anyway, on to the pictures...



Not the main sign, but the first one we saw.



All the kids inside the caverns. Next time we go to a caverns park, I am going to buy a much nicer camera with a professional flash. The camera we brought on this trip took great pictures until we got into the caverns.



Ellen has such a pretty smile. :)



I think this was called The King's Sword.



This was the King's Column. I think.



I couldn't help think of my grandmother. If you read the first paragraph, you see a reference to "the jumping off place." She always referred to out of the way places as "the jumping off place."



Ellen again. This one was on the King's Palace tour.



A fond farewell to the park.




THE BEST SIGN OF THE WHOLE TRIP!!!

That ends the photos. I will make another post with some final thoughts about our trip.
