What trip through New Mexico would be complete without a stop in Roswell?  The UFO Museum was literally right on our way from Santa Fe to Carlsbad, so we just had to stop.  I had to drag the girls into the museum under false pretenses.  I told them that there was a bookstore inside.

The museum is pretty hokey – kind of like a do-it-yourself memorabilia collection, or perhaps my grandmother’s attempts at scrapbooking, with a fog machine thrown in for good measure.
