For the 4th of July weekend, we ventured south to further discover why New Mexico is considered to be the "land of enchantment". We stopped by the famous (or infamous if you have a fear of UFOs ) city of Roswell. I loved the UFO streetlights: 
We visited the International UFO Museum and Research Center. Sadly, there wasn't much there and this was the only "UFO" we saw.
After our quick visit to Roswell, we headed off to Carlsbad, NM to visit the Carlsbad Caverns. We watched a massive, ominous dark cloud of thousands of bats swarm out of the cave's mouth for their evening bat flight. (no pics since bat hearing is ultra-sensitive)
The next day was spent in the cave. If you have the following phobias, this trip might be a bit tough:
- Achluphobia- Fear of darkness
- Bacillophobia- Fear of microbes
- Bathophobia- Fear of depth
- Chiroptophobia- Fear of bats
- Olfactophobia- Fear of smells
- Ornithophobia-Fear of birds
