Spring trip to New Mexico and Arizona

I finally am on my trip to Tucson and have a reservation to a nightly observation program at one of the telescopes in the area around there. We weren't able to get a reservation at Kitt peak but I was lucky to get one at Mount Lemmon. They have a larger telescope. We drove to Albuquerque, NM on Friday. This morning we made a visit to the Nuclear Science Museum. There were some very interesting exhibits on the Manhattan Project, using the bomb to end the war with Japan and the cold war. Tonight we are in Alamogordo and plan to visit the Space Museum tomorrow morning before driving to White Sands National Monument and then the White Sands Missile Range visitors center outside of Las Cruses. We drove by the Trinity site pn her drive here, but it is only open twice a year to the public. We had a lovely dinner with Sonia Candalaria's parents at a mexican restaurant. Her mother gave us a huge bag of pecans. YUM.
