May 28, 2012 Monday Memorial Day

We left Santa Rosa NM after filling the propane tank -- something we have been meaning to do since we started. We had an uneventful drive to Albuquerque. Difficult finding the correct gate to get on base-- finally got in and a man riding his bike gave us directions to the fam-camp. Found out later his wife is the camp host here. Picked out a site, walked the dogs in a nice dog park here at the campground then hooked up the utilities. We had lunch in the RV then a nap. Woke up at 4:30 pm found the commissary -- too late-- it closed early for the holiday. We went off base to Route 66 Diner and had a burger & fries. The diner was decorated really cute. Then we had to go to Wal-Mart for groceries and back to the RV for bed time. We also did a little trip planning for the next leg of the journey. The plan is to go to the New Mexico Museum of Natural History plus Old Town tomorrow. The weather here is great-- in the 80's and delightful in the shade. Also planning to grill our supper tomorrow and the next night... got some nice looking ears of corn and strawberries!! YUM!
