New Mexico, February - March 2006

On Friday (3/10), a few of us from work went to a restaurant near our hotel called Gabriel's.  My birthday was the weekend before, so I was treated to flan.

From left to right: Carol Collins (Richland, WA), Ben Glover, (Frederick, MD), Candice Dermody (Savannah River, GA), Tanna Van Wey (Richland, WA), Cheryl Miller (San Francicso, CA), Christa Wingfield (Savannah River, GA), and Lesli Milikien (San Diego, CA).

I woke up Sunday (3/12) morning to find about four inches of snow on the ground.

The snow started to melt by the afternoon, so I took off to Albuquerque to see the National Atomic Museum.

The friendly tour guide gave a very detailed history of atomic energy.  He is standing next to a life-size replica of Fatman, the nuclear bomb dropped over Nagasaki.

This is a life-size replica of Little Boy, the nuclear bomb dropped over Hiroshima.

This is an unused Trident I missile.  It is launched from a submarine, flies up into space, and then down to its target.  The missile is in five parts: the three pieces in the distance are the rocket boosters, the next piece is the guidance system, and the closest piece contained the warhead.

This is a picture of the sun setting and the moon rising.
