Sandia Tramway: The Longest tram in the world

Monday we went to see the Longest tramway in the world. It ends on top of the Sandia. It was perfect sweatshirt weather here.

They have 2 trams, they both run opposite each other. Infact, you are not allowed to get off, until the other is docked safely.

They have some insane men that monitor this and instead of riding in the tram they ride on TOP of it!! We actually saw them do this!!




We get discounts on some attractions because of being a bowler, so after we checked in at the bowling center we got our coupon book. It saved us 5 bucks for the tram ride! Yay!

This was my favorite picture. It is the view from the tram as we got to the top of the 2.7 mile long tram ride. We passed many rocks precariously looking like they may fall down the hill at any moment, one they affectionately call Nemo.


Zeb was pretty nervous about the ride. In fact at first he proclaimed, "I am not going on that thing", but when he saw another boy and girl his size he settled down right away, almost to say "Hey, I am not afraid" to them.

He only held on to this pole for a little while.




I noticed this sign about bears wandering this area and we thought it would be cute to do this pose.








They had this scope set up for specific points in the area. From on top of this mountain you could see places (on a clear day) over 100 miles away. We were able to see a mountain that was 68 miles away without a problem.





For supper we went to Fuddruckers, home of the Worlds Greatest burger. Reece, Duner, Brock all had 1/2 lb burgers with fries. But, Brock was so hungry he went for a SECOND 1/2 LB BURGER. We told him we are going to Target and getting him some Raman noodles to eat the rest of this trip to help save on our food bill. Yesterday we picked up a bunch of water bottles, some soda and snacks to keep in out fridge at our hotel room so we aren't buying so much while we are out.

Now we are off to the Bradbury Science Museum in Los Alamos New Mexico. The best part in the Free Admission!!! I love this place. Not very expensive to visit, low admission prices all over, and the FRIENDLIEST PEOPLE I have been around since we went to Mexico.
High temp for today is 64. Enjoy!
