Albuquerque

We have been in New Mexico for almost two weeks now. We have been having lot's of fun. I've had Mexican food (duh), Indian food twice (as in India), Japanese...and we are going to try and have some Thai before we leave Friday morning.

We all went up to the mountains to the cabin. That was really fun. There was an outhouse...which I DID NOT step foot in! Rob took me up this really scary road (I am terrified of heights!) and the view at the top was beautiful! Mimi had a great time too. Of course grandma and grandpa gave in to her every whim. There are a million pictures that I will post on my page soon.

I saw my very first Balloon Fiesta last week. There were hundreds and hundreds of hot air balloons. Special shapes day was my favorite. Again, I have lots of pictures! Mimi was intrigued by the balloons for quite awhile. Then she decided that it was also fun to eat rocks and sticks!

One of the coolest things to happen is that Rob started training at Greg Jackson's gym here. If you know anything about MMA or UFC then you know that his gym is one of the top rated in the country. Greg is a really cool guy. The first day Rob went Keith Jardine, Rashad Evans and Nate Marquardt were all there helping out. He was so excited. The next day, the UFC was there interviewing Rashad for his upcoming fight against Michael Bisping. They panned around the gym, and the interview was in the cage. Rob was hitting the bag right behind the cage. So he might have a cameo in one of the interviews!
He has been asking me to go all week, so finally I went yesterday. Not a single fighter I recognized was there! Mimi was a celebrity there. Fighters were in the middle of submissions and they are smiling and waving at her! Mimi was just calling out to daddy who was across the gym. It was super cute.
I went again tonight, grandma kept Mimi for us this time. I walked in and Rashad and Nate were sparring in the cage. It was really cool. I was sitting in a chair in front of the heavy bags, when the class started Rashad started hitting the bags. There were a few times I could have reached out and touched him. (Which I didn't!) lol I didn't take any pictures of him either, I felt like enough of an idiot just looking at him while he was training. It was really cool though.
Georges St. Pierre is supposed to get into town like 2 days after we leave. :(
Anyway, it has been a fun and interesting trip. I hate to see it come to an end in a couple days.
