BJ and Sherry came to Albuquerque for a visit on their way to Jon and Sandy's Wedding. It was so nice to see them and their new little baby, Adelie. She is the cutest baby with a big round bald head and bright blue eyes. We went to the Petroglyphs. It's only been a few years since we've been there but the urban sprawl was shocking to me. I remember going out there when I was a kid and feeling like we were in the middle of nowhere. We also took the Tram to the top of Sandia and attempted to walk the Crest Trail but our kids put a stop to that with their hungriness and grumping.
We all drove to Taos and found that the place we had reserved was a real dump. After some calling around, Ron found other accomodations for us at the Indian Hills Inn which had a nice huge courtyard and swimming pool for the kids to play. This tree in the courtyard was really cool. It looked like it had 2 or 3 trunks mashed together to form one giant trunk. The kids had fun collecting pine cones and making crowns from the branches of this giant tree.
The day before the wedding, we stopped by Jon and Sandy's B&B. It was nice to chat with James, Jon and his family and to meet the lovely Sandy.
David Duchovny spotted us while he was in the swimming pool with his kids. His wife, Tea Leoni, was in the lobby waiting for them while we were waiting for the shuttle to take us to the wedding. They haven't seen us since.

Jon is a friend of ours from Dartmouth and was in the CS program with Ron. He was one of our cabining/hockey/party buddies. We were very excited to attend his wedding and to see his happiness with Sandy. She seems fantastic. The kids loved the music and the dancing. We sat next to the swing band - very cool. These dresses are now called the "dancing dresses" and Emily likes to put hers on and ask "Go dancing?" There were a few other kids there and they all had fun playing together and posing for the camera.
