Today we first went to the Space Museum in Alamogordo. The museum was cool. We had to go through four floors then the main floor. We got to see a lot of spacecrafts, missiles, planes, and the people who worked on board the ship and in mission control. A nice man showed me what a Gyroscope is, it is a device that was invented by someone named Robert Goddard. It was used to keep a rocket ship from flying to the side. After we were done we went to the gift shop and got me a sled for White Sands and a gyroscope.

Next, we went to a New Mexican restaurant named Tia Lupe’s. While we were eating there it was raining really hard outside. When we finished eating we walked outside to get to the car. The streets were flooded so it was kind of hard to get to the car because there was a huge puddle of water.

Finally, we went to White Sands National Park. We had a great time. We got to go on the nature walk, which is a bridge that goes over some of the desert, protecting the fragile life under us. The bridge was static so you could zap each other or could zap your self. After we were done with the boardwalk, we drove to a spot to go sledding. When we found a good hill, we got out of the car, grabbed the sled, and climbed up the dune. I rode down the hill a few times, but we didn’t stay for long because the wind was throwing sand at us and there was a big storm coming.

After we were done, we drove to Las Cruces, checked into the hotel, got something to eat, and went to sleep.
