Thursday December 23rd

This morning we checked into the Carlsbad RV Resort.  A desert park, with some very friendly people.  The park has spacious pull through sites, long enough to allow us to pull in with out having to unhook the trailer.  There is an indoor heated pool, free Wi-Fi, and two very nice pet areas.  One with graduated exercise platforms and a mailbox full of doggie treats.  In the summer during tourist season, for the kids, there is a playground, bicycle rentals and plenty of room to run.

A note from Mia to all of her doggie friends:  Be careful of the grass when you go to pee or poop out here in the desert.  Lots of burrs to get caught in your pads.



Park along Pecos River

 After getting set up I had to go to Radio Shack to get some cable connectors.  During the trip, a short drive took me to the Pecos Village and Millennium Park along the river.  The park was a beautiful area for walking, cycling, picnicking and playing along the Pecos River.  At the Pecos Village, they offer boat rides for the holiday light displays at the homes on the shoreline.  This may be an item on the agenda during the week.

The rest of the evening was spent doing housekeeping tasks and paperwork.
