Today was the day!! Sorry I'm having to blog from my phone bc we haven't had time to figure out the wifi, so I can only post one pic. BUT as for today, the trip started with Mrs. Skochdopole quizzing us with US History flashcards, stops at Cracker Barrel, Dawson's Famous Food, Dairy Queen,and Wal-Mart. Then we got to New Mexico (cross another state off my list!) and the terrain was BEAUTIFUL. Like awesome. Mesas, yucca, shale, red rock, tumbleweeds (yet to see one tumble).. I just really really like it. So then we got to our cabin and established some ground rules (see pic), had some dinner on the porch. After that had settled, we went on a hike/jog (some altitude training) and the stars were SO awesome. Creation is sosososo awesome. We stargazed and found the dippers, Orion, Draco, and creacona or something along those lines. I wish I could have taken a pic with my phone, but I could only get them with my camera and 30 second exposure. Promise not everything in the cabin will stay, I'll share those pics later. If I made this trip just for the hike it would have been worth it, but tomorrow I even get to ski for the first time! Thanks for bearing with the phone posts. Can't wait to be even more outdoorsy.
