Capulin Volcano National Monument

For the short amount of time we spent in New Mexico, this was one of the most anticipated views of our trip. Jack talked about it all the way there, and then he fell asleep right before we drove by.

I took a bunch of pictures as we were driving by, just in case.
And a picture of Jack, just in case. And I shook his leg and called to him until he opened his eyes. He went right back to sleep.
Sure enough, as soon as he woke up, he said "I can't wait to see the volcano. When are we going to get there?" When I explained that we had already passed it, the disappointed look on his face melted me, and just before he started melting down himself, I passed him the camera and told him we took lots of pictures, and that I even woke him up, and he opened his eyes and went back to sleep. "You got to see it. See? Here are the pictures." He looked skeptical, but then he spent the rest of the afternoon asking to see the pictures again.
Not bad for an inactive volcano.
