Pampering ourselves in Carlsbad

We stayed on schedule today, shockingly, and made it into Carlsbad at a decent hour. I was able to score us an upgrade to a 2 bedroom/2 bath suite and we celebrated with an evening of sloth-like behavior and yummy take-out BBQ.

Tomorrow, we're off early to Carlsbad Caverns National Park. So excited for this park! After that, we sadly must say goodbye to New Mexico and go check out Texas. We have the Alamo in our sights but our itineraries tend to be somewhat fluid. Any bets on where we'll end up tomorrow?
