Trip To Albuquerque

Today was spent in Albuquerque for a dentist appointment.

I got into town two hours early, so I went to a couple of hot tub dealers to see what they have. I have been considering getting one since I moved to New Mexico. If I were to get one, it would be set up at the brick deck. There was one I liked at Hot Tub Albuquerque.

Along the way, I stopped at the Sky City Rest Area for a brief "pit stop". While I was leaving, I looked over the picnic shelters they have available for weary travelers. They definitely have a New Mexico pueblo motif style. It is located across Interstate 40 from the Sky City Hotel and Casino.

After I was done at the dentist, I headed on home. I had in mind to stop for dinner at the Kiva Café in Grants. I got there around 3:30, but they were closed for the day. Apparently, they just serve breakfast and lunch. So I pressed on ahead.

I stopped off at Bowlin's Bluewater Outpost. They have a Dairy Queen inside and I ended up having a grilled chicken salad bowl. It wasn't bad, but I was looking forward to Mexican food at the Kiva Café.

You can't win them all!
