Pistachios and Space

We were on a mission to obtain pistachios. So off to Alamogordo and the pistachio farms we went. They have all kinds of seasoned pistachios (and pecans for that matter) that you don't see in your typical grocery store. Once that was done, we visited the New Mexico Museum of Space History.

Sitting high on the side of a hill in Alamogordo, NM, the museum has a commanding view of the area below, not to mention a few cool exhibits in their own right. Some of the exhibits were undergoing a change when we visited. Consequently, they were offering everyone as discount. 

The museum has five floors and the walkway between the floors follows along the outside edge that has full windows so  you can enjoy the view. We confess that we probably spent the most time at the Star Trek exhibit. Well that, and stepping on the simulator that let you feel the rumble of various rockets as they left the launch pad. Harold finally got that foot massage he'd been wanting. Oh, and the museum had the coolest elevators and trash cans. We had fun. 

Then it was off to Hi-D-Ho Drive In for green chile cheeseburgers and a milk shake.
