Birthday Road Trip

As you remember, Wednesday was Betty’s birthday.  Since we went out to volunteer at Galloping Grace Youth Ranch we were a little tired on Wednesday afternoon and evening.  So, we didn’t do anything special that day.

Betty’s suggestion was to wait until the next day, Thursday, and make a road trip to Jemez Springs in the Jemez Mountains.

Thursday morning we took the top down on the Mustang and drove up to Jemez Springs.  We ate lunch at the Laughing Lizard Café, a neat little café in the Springs. 

After lunch we drove up to the Soda Dam.  There are some hot springs in that area and over the thousands of years a dam was created on the Jemez River.  At some point in the past the river broke through the dam on the far side and it’s a neat place to visit.

It turned out to be a beautiful day for our trip in the convertible and we had a great time.

Here’s a short video that gives an overview of our day.
