Plans for Summer... already!

Ok, knowing how I have to be organized in all my planning, and just can't take off to any place like my sister-in-law can, I've already started my planning for this summer. Yeah, I know. I still have a few weeks left of winter, and it's not even Spring yet... but I have to be planned!

Miller Family Reunion is June 16 & 17 in Benson, AZ. First time I ever remember hearing about Benson, is when we went on vacation as the Pritchard family in July 1986. We were headed to California, and I just thought how weird that a town would be called Benson after our (then-current) prophet, Ezra Taft Benson! Geez, what a nerdy 16 yr old I was! LOL!! So, here I am, trying to figure out everything. I've already got the hotel reserved in Benson for 4 nights, but nothing else yet. I've got a few plans to go here and there (maybe even Mesa!), but Shawn wants to see what else he may like to do as well. I know we are going to go to Balmorhea State Park in Balmorhea, TX (off of I-10 due south of Pecos in West Texas). We wanted to go there 6 years ago, but we didn't. Shawn also wants to go to Carlsbad Caverans, but a caveran is a caveran, and I've been to the ones in Hill Country/Central Texas. And I was freaked out when they turn off the lights when you are like 100 miles down! I really want to go to Roswell and see an alien. I so want to stay in an alien-theme room! I'm still pretty much freaked out about seeing one living close to Foreman and all, but I still want to go. What's in Foreman, just 20 minutes west of Ashdown? Aliens!! I watched Unsolved Mysterties when I first got married, and it freaked me out so bad, that I am still scared to look out in the fields when I am driving around here. :-D I am hoping to get to White Sands too.
