Since I have been gone on vacation for over a week, I decided to share my trip to Santa Fe in several different posts. As I look over the pictures (I took 488!) I feel just as excited as if I were there and my trip is taking place all over again. My husband and I really enjoy traveling, and my hope is that you enjoy sharing my experiences with me.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a peek at our first stop in Fort Davis, Texas. We specifically went there to experience the McDonald Observatory. It is a wonderful place to visit ~ even on an overcast night! It sits at approximately 6,800 feet above sea level, which is perfect for viewing the heavens. Not only did we look at the surface of the moon thru their 107-inch telescope, but I got my first glimpse of Saturn. And, seeing satellites are easier than you think by going to to Heavens-Above. Simply by putting in your coordinates (using your address), you can see amazing things in the beautiful night skies. I must say this was one of the highlights of our trip for both my husband & I.
This was taken on our trip up the beautiful winding road to the observatory.

A few shots more..this time of the beautiful redbud trees blooming in the courtyard of The Veranda. I didn't want to leave.
We really live in a beautiful country, AND I feel so blessed to live in the wonderful state of Texas.
