Vacation 2008: Day 2

Well day 2 of vacation we spent in Albuquerque. We headed off for the zoo (which by the way is a little tricky to get to) and the Biopark. Albuquerque has a Zoo, Botanical garden and Aquarium that make up the BioPark. There is a train between the Zoo and the Botanical garden/Aquarium. The ride took about 45 minutes and it takes you through a lot of both parks. It also passes Tingley Beach, which is a small lake, open to anyone for fishing or hanging out.

Here are some of our pictures from the BioPark.

This is us riding the train to the Gardens and Aquarium.

These are jelly fish

Roses from the Botanical Garden.

The polar bears were my favorite! They were amazing!

After the zoo we headed over to the Unser Museum. The Unser Family is well known in the field of racing. It all began years ago with Uncle Louie. The museum was very cool. Brian of course had more fun than me. Here are a few pictures from our visit. Brian got to play in the simulator and "race". He also got sat in the car out front.

After our racing studies, we headed over to the Flying Star for an afternoon snack before heading back to the house. Jerry fired up the grill and charred some flesh for dinner. The steaks were great and it was so nice to visit with family. We also got to see a beautiful sunset. Mornings and evenings on the patio were my favorite times. A good cup of coffee, a good book and that view!! Just doesn't get any better!

Day 3 Details to come!
