Solar Eclipse- PistachioLand and Roswell

PistacioLand was a landmark that we discovered when researching places to visit along our route. It is a pistachio farm that holds the honor of having the world's largest statue of a pistachio. It was kind of a joke stop, but it ended up being a big hit!

  

Their pistachio ice cream was SO GOOD. Between White Sands, the ice cream, and the upcoming first night sleeping in a van, the kids were having the best day of their lives. 

We unlocked a new Elliot face!

Free samples of flavored pistachios! 

We had very low expectations for the PistacioLand country store, but it ended up being super fun!

Annie is such a beautiful, adventurous, fun-loving girl

The giant pistachio!

Shells up!

We stopped in Roswell a couple hours later. The UFO museum was closed for the day and it would put us behind schedule to see it in the morning, so we opted for a photo shoot outside. 

The drama!

We found some BLM land a short distance outside of Roswell that allowed dispersed camping. We rolled in after dark but were still able to find an open clearing without trouble. We whipped up some hot dogs and then were off to bed.
