Day 2

There are three telescopes in the Davis Mountains.  They are positioned on the summit of Mt Locke.  You can see two of them up there in the distance in the white domes.  

Like I said, there are three telescopes.  One of them being the Hobby-Eberly... the third largest telescope in the world!


 There she is, behind the glass.  This particular telescope is unique in the way it uses a grouping of 91 mirrors to track the stars.  Science, especially Earth science, is my THING!  It was fun to see the kids getting excited too as I explained the workings of the telescope.
 We bought space ice cream......mmmmmm.
 Then we drove.  We got a good chuckle out of the warning signs....lol
 We made it to New Mexico....

 ....and drove some more.  Jane likes to give her toys baths with baby wipes.  It entertains her for a while.
We are having a wonderful time being together and enjoying a part of Creation that we normally do not get to see.  Thank you for your prayers as we continue to travel.  We can feel the love and prayers of the saints as we travel.  More postings soon!
