mini vacay!!!

Last weekend, Justin and I left August with the grandparents for one night so we could join some of our friends at Elephant Butte.  We set out for the 2.5 hour drive on Friday to what I think is probably one of the closest lakes to Albuquerque (weird, I know, but I live in the desert now).  After a week of August being sickers and not sleeping, we were more than ready for a night away.

I am horrible at taking pictures (quality and quantity).  I made a thoughtful effort to bring my camera on our latest adventure determined to capture memories, but that lasted all of 2 hours.  At least I have something...

 Out on the boat.  We just chilled on Friday, but Saturday Justin and I did a little wake boarding (wish I had pics of that) ;(

So, we had to drive down through sand to get to our campsite.  We had the Element, which did get stuck once, but was easy to push out.  The two small cars on the other hand...you can't really see in this small pic, but here they are stuck the first time and below here I am waiting for the rest of the crew to get unstuck.  My car feels right at home here (or in it's element, teehee).Here is our campsite, before it was actually set up.  We slept in the Element and it was pretty comfortable (all four seats lay flat for that purpose). 

The best part was waking up Saturday morning and just laying there.
