El Paso

We spent the past weekend visiting with some of Travis's family in El Paso. Our plane had to abort landing due to high winds, but successfully landed on the second try. The weekend was full of good Mexican food and delightful company.

Travis, Bridget, Meemaw, and Ruby at the Mexican Restaurant.

Travis and Bridget exploring the native flora at the bottom of the mountains. The plant behind us is called an Ocotillo and has thorny spikes all over it. Rescued cacti are also saved and transplanted here from housing developments or construction sites. In the spring, poppies fill the field behind us.
