    If you could road trip anywhere, where would you go?

    At White Sands, you can also rent sleds and slide down the dunes until you can't take anymore. It's fun for adults, but the kids definitely get a blast out of it.
    If you decide to go sledding, ensure you have some backup clothes, shoes, and some water to wash feet etc... Just in case.
    The sand can get everywhere, just like at the beach. Especially if you're sweaty and tumble down a hill lol.

    Camping in White Sands on a full moon night in the spring is fun. I used to live in NM and did it several times with friends.
    I used to live within walking distance from your Airbnb in ABQ. The architecture and vibe of NM is something I dearly miss. I love the rounded edges of walls, door ways, and window sills.

    Allison can you visit Laas Geel (Somali: Laas Geel), also spelled Laas Gaal, are cave formations on the rural outskirts of Hargeisa, Somaliland, situated in the Maroodi Jeex region of the country. They contain some of the earliest known cave paintings of domesticated African aurochs (Bos primigenius africanus) in the Horn of Africa. Laas Geel's rock art is estimated to date somewhere around circa 18,000 BC or 20,000 years ago.
