At the beginning of May my mom, sister and I took a whirlwind trip to New Mexico. We left town around 1:00 on Saturday afternoon and arrived back in town Wednesday night around 10:15. We had a great time.....I think that surprised us all.
Well....most of it was great. We did NOT love mom's imitation of a big rig shifting gears while going down a steep hill snoring. Anyway, we made it to New Mexico safely it was a close call as we were constant prey for all sorts of wild and menacing creatures.....right Salena? and were there to see my youngest brother graduate from the Border Patrol Academy. On our way back home we stopped in ??????? to have lunch and ended up at an Applebee's (yes.....that is against the rules, but the choices were few). That was where we met Megan and Skye. For now they are foregoing a permanent abode in favor of traveling the country. They have been to some amazing places. On this day they had already been in Texas and were on their way north, maybe to Wyoming. I asked if I could take some photos and they graciously agreed.
I loved Megan's tattoos. They were both fun to visit with and photographed beautifully. Megan says she has very few photos of herself from this time in her life, so I am going to find a way to get these to her. My daughter Madison has plans to be a traveler herself someday, so it was fun for me to meet up with her kindred spirits. These pictures certainly inspired her and put a big smile on her face.
Vaya con dios Megan and Skye.

I love that you are so out-going. You meet the most interesting people. I'm gonna be more like you....some day.....
They were incredible people! I loved meeting them!
I agree with Lori...I love your talent to reach out so easily. I remember when we used to take our beach trips on one in particular we met some parents that had two little boys. Their oldest (maybe 3?) had dreds down his back and had renamed himself...which I was in awe that his parents were fine with. But as I sat there somewhat scared and in a little shock, you sat there talking, chatting up like an old friend, and seeing them with the eyes of God's love...I will always remember that moment and the many before and since that make me love you, who you are, and who you have helped me become!
