Our first stop- Las Cruces

Our friend Richard lives in Las Cruces, NM and he offered us a place to spend the night the first night of our drive. We arrived around 3pm, ate a wonderful mexican food dinner at the famous La Posta restaurant. In the morning, Richard made us breakfast tacos and the promised "yum yums" for the kids for breakfast (a half a cantalope with vanilla ice cream and strawberries on top.) We leave early, so the kids needed to get up early to be able to eat before leaving, and they surprised me... Both were up and dressed in plenty of time to enjoy some "yum yums" before hitting the road again at 6am.
