New Mexico

After lighting off the few fireworks we had for New Year's, we were addicted. 

We got a tip that the best fireworks were in New Mexico and, after shooting off other, not so great fireworks, we decided (at ONE IN THE MORNING DURING BREAKFAST AT IHOP) to take the day and just drive there and back really quick.

It actually took longer than we expected and made a whole road trip out of it.

Starting at 8 AM.

we actually were pretty excited at first..

Matt and Alan,
our lovely Pilot and Co-Pilot

Tucson, here we come!

Some beautiful scenery!!
"They're probably trees of some sort"
Thanks, Cam.

About two hours in, we were extreeeemely bored, tired, and
ready to throw in the towel..

Gas station in Tucson that provided
us with breakfast.

My face when Alan started playing his Mitt Romney
book on tape.. Worse than the Christian Rock station..

More rocks

Getting closer to New Mexico, the rocks changed colours
and got larger

he stole my camera.

you asked for it.

FINALLY!! Lordsburg, 69 MILES!!!
Happiest moment of the trip!

1st stop, Phantom Fireworks Warehouse!

Proof that we actually WERE in New Mexico.
"New Mexico Information Center"

2nd stop, Patrick's firework warehouse!

Love the advertising skills :)

We were excited, I swear,
just really, really tired.

They did for us that day :)

Blurry but,
"FRAGGLE ROCK"!!!

I loved seeing these signs.

"Hug a beaver today"
Best advice anyone had given me all day.

Sunset coming home..

I love you, Arizona, and your wonderful sunsets.
Feels good to be home.
