Excuse Me While I Post Some Pictures For Awhile...

 Yeah, yeah this blog is supposed to be for baby news, baby updates, baby baby baby... but I can't help but take a break from that for just a sec to post some pictures from our trip. So far, I've only gotten to our first set of pictures from our first day of traveling. Behold: White Sands, New Mexico - 

We flew into El Paso, Texas and drove from there pretty much straight to White Sands, NM. 

Honestly, I wasn't really sure what it was going to be like. All I had to go on was some google images that came up when searching "cool things to see in New Mexico." Since Sean had so readily agreed to flying 6 hours, driving an additional 1.5 hours after that and staying in the middle of nowhere all so that we could check it out, I was reeeallllyyyyy hoping it was going to live up to the hype in my head.

At first it was mostly just a typical New Mexico landscape. And then slowly slowly, we started to see sandbanks in the distance until soon they were on either side of the road:

 Then the road became more and more covered with sand and soon we could hardly see any black pavement at all...

And then before we knew it, it was as if we were on the surface of the moon (if the moon were especially sandy, that is). 

And so out we got to go explore and play in the desert sand. 

Whatdya think? Pretty incredible, isn't it? As our goal for this trip was see some amazing natural wonders in the US, we definitely started our trip off right with this spot.

Well, since you sat through a slew of pictures and were deprived of all things baby Bailey, here are some last pics of the little bean before I head off tonight:
