Spring is here

So Michael and I actually had a spring break together! It was fabulous. We ended up going to the "Real" West Texas to Fort Davis and the Davis Mountains. We stayed in Davis Mountains state park at the Indian Lodge. The view was incredible. We got a room in the historic section of the hotel and decided we should probably stay upstairs if we go back. We stopped along the way at the Odessa Crater, which was very small, but fun. We also stopped at the Monahans Sand Hills State Park and walked along the edges of the dunes. We got to the Indian Lodge around 8 that evening.

The next day, we woke up, had breakfast, and drove to the McDonald Observatory. We got to sit in on a live sun viewing. We then got to go see the telescopes, which were great. We then drove to Marfa, Tx to see some art and found a great pizza place with some of the best pizza we'd ever had.

On Friday, we woke up and drove into Fort Davis and ate at this great cafe on the patio. We then went to the Fort Davis National Monument and walked around to see the ruins. It was really neat to see all the history and to see the restorations in one area and the complete ruins in another area. We really had a great time. We drove down to Van Horn on our way home and then up to the Guadelupe Mtns. State Park.

It was a great trip. We really had some fun and hope to go back some time soon!
