Day Seven: Cloudcroft, NM to Lubbock, TX and Carlsbad Caverns

Travel time: 11:30am to 9:15pm, with a couple hours at Carlsbad Caverns
 
Word(s) of the day: Behind Schedule
 
 
 
Before we hit the road, we took a mini-hike in the gorgeous sunny morning
 (this is the view looking down on Shelley's parents' house)

Listening to the ranger and being told the cave rules

Stalagmites

Stalactites

Being scientists (but not touching!)

We were so glad Aunt Shelley and Kacie decided to join us on our underground adventure!
 
 
After our cave tour, Shelley and Kacie returned home to Cloudcroft and the Willis contingent pressed on to Grammy and Grampa's house.  We arrived late, ate dinner late, had tickles and bedtime stories late, and (you guessed it!) slept late the next morning.
