Awaking in Albuquerque was wonderful. It was going to be a busy day. And we started it off in at the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History. Awe is the only word I have for standing within inches of ICBM missiles, a replica of Little Boy, and documentation of the history that passed between WWII & today. It was fascinating.

| Fat Man Bomb Shell - Replica of the bomb that dropped on Nagasaki. A cool matter of timing? We attended the museum on the day before the 70th anniversary of the bomb's drop on Nagasaki. |

| What a nuclear blast does to the sand of New Mexico. |
The visit led to a discussion of the terrible things that we do to each other as humans (there were also displays about the Rape of Nanking and the Bataan Death March). Heavy chat for a road trip.
It was interesting to see my daughter reacting to the up close presentation the years of history that I lived through (the 70's - 90s).

| Kids had the best toys in the 1950's! |
