Well, we just had to go to Roswell, New Mexico. I mean, why not? It was just about a 40 minute detour on our way to White Sand Dunes National Monument. Thanks Chris for the idea! If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have these ridiculous photos!
By mid-afternoon we left Carlsbad Caverns and made a brief visit (literally less than an hour) to Roswell. With the limited time we had, we only made it to Alien Zone, a silly tourist trap where one can spend $3 to take a bunch of campy pictures and get a decent laugh. Not much else to say, so enjoy!
To top it off, we got some fries and Coke at the UFO-shaped McDonalds down the street. 
And then we were finally off to White Sand Dunes National Monument!
