Arrival: Ruidoso

Okay, so we're not spring chickens anymore.  But this Rooster called out to us with affection in his brown eyes.

As instructed by Tom, I wore my Falls Church lacrosse t-shirt to set out on this trip  yesterday.  First stop Boerne by the river.

Then to take a picture for Jackson by the pegasus sign
just as his first game on varsity was beginning. 

Due to house remodeling projects, we got a late start and only got as far as Junction where we spent the night at a nice Rodeway Inn and had dinner at Isaaks diner--delicious chicken fried steak. 

Now it's Thursday night, Marcus' 12th birthday and we just arrived in Ruidoso, New Mexico, where we'll spend two nights. 

The drive here was beautiful--through West Texas on 10 through Sonora to Carlsbad, then north on 285.
