It was a split up day.
Leroy went to the local space museum located on the mountain side overlooking Alamogordo. It is not the largest museum around but was interesting none the less. White Sands, just out side of Alamogordo, has a rich history connected with our rocket development history. The first A bomb of course was set off 70 miles to the north, rocket motors and systems were tested here, safety restraints developed for the astronauts that resulted in automobile seat belts were tested here. This part of the Chihuahua desert has been busy over they years. They still do testing out here, closing the park and a near by US highway a couple days a week for up to two hours.
The ladies of the house stayed at the park and played dolls, did the laundry (thanks girls..), explored the RV park, did a bit of schooling, and had a bit of one on one time together.
Dinner of hot dogs and mac and cheese rounded out the day....
