8-24-09 through 9-1-09: A week to regroup in CO then 9-1 through 9-2 in Roswell, NM

8-24-09 through 9-1-09: We happily arrived back to our home in Monte Vista, CO and spent a week unpacking and storing our camping gear, getting errands done (Mike checked on our business; our new, 18 apt complex is full and doing well with our manager's help), and repacking again. The family renting our house was gracious enough to make room for us there during this regrouping period.

9-1-09 through 9-2-09: We headed out 9-1-09 and stopped in Roswell, NM for 2 days where Mike had arranged to work 2 shifts at Eastern New Mexico Medical Center before continuing our journey to Mexico. On 9-2-09 while Mike worked his 2nd shift in Roswell, the kids and I made a visit to the International UFO Museum and Research Center. We learned about the Roswell Incident in 1947 in which a rancher stated he found fragments of a UFO that the military allegedly covered up. The museum/research center is dedicated to the collection and preservation of materials and info relevant to the Roswell Incident and other unexplained phenomena related to UFO research. The museum houses a Research Library which is the largest and most comprehensive collection of UFO related info in the world. I bought the kids 2 souvenir alien T-shirts that were super-cool.

  1. Greetings Paterson Family,
    It sounds like you are all having a wonderful time. We made it through our first week of school last week. We miss you, Gabby and Luke! Please send us a postcard now and again.
    Take care,

  2. Pretty amazing!All is well here in Maryland. Jen and the family are getting settled, Brooke's pregnancy is healthy and the rest of us are just doing the same ol' thing! Physical therapy is making great strides on my shoulder and neck - I might even get in a kayak before winter hits!

  3. Also, school is keeping me well busy, but it's good overall. Amazing how much math you can forget in a few short years :)
