Albuquerque, New Mexico

    Our next destination we set was to Albuquerque, New Mexico. Along our journey there we stopped and saw the Rio Grande River, visited the Balloon Festival, traveled on the Sandia Mountain tramway, drove on Route 66, and visited the National History Museum. It was a wild adventure, and I was happy to learn about it a little bit more without having to travel it.
    We learned that their state tree is the pinon, and the flower is the yucca. The bird is the speedy roadrunner, Santa Fe is their capital. Their nickname was “The Land of Enchantment.” I saw that it was very gorgeous when we took that trip. The chilis there were delicious also.
    We stopped by a school and saw some kids playing their favorite games, such as kickball, tag, basketball, football, mystery games, and soccer. Boy, those kids sure were active! When school got out, they loved to do things like going to the zoo, see the blinding, white sand dunes, play and see sports, and eat at a wonderful pizza restaurant. We wished we could stop by and taste it, but we needed to go and see the rest of the states!
