Weekend in ABQ

We spent the weekend in Albuquerque, NM with my family, meeting up between Texas and California as they were passing through to camp in Colorado.  We took in the sites, hiked Sandia Peak, and enjoyed some fantastic Mexican food.  It was scorching hot of course, but we had a good time anyway.  Favorite new discovery to beat the heat: Paleteria Michoacana de Paquime, a Mexican ice cream shop with two dozen Mexican flavors of candy-colored popsicles, among other treats.  Favorite view: top of Sandia Peak Tram as a thunderstorm moved in at sunset.
