Yes thats right we ate at a place called Phat Phil's...

So before leaving Alamogordo, I decided I would try a restaurant that my husband loves and I swore I would never eat at, because I mean look at it, doesn't look to appetizing from the outside or inside for that matter!! But, needless to say, it was pretty good. I am not a huge meat eater so I could only finish half of my sandwich but it was great and now I won't be able to eat for about 3 days lol..

Welcome to Phat Phil's

What you look like after eating at Phat Phil's lol

My meat lover husband loved it!!!

Wanna know what that crazy sandwich was?

Mo's Combo Sandwich

Brisket and Sausage on a Bun

I am sorry Sophia.. yes this is Banana Pudding your favorite!

TJ who hates bananas even loved it lol

So eating here definitely made me feel like I was part of the show man versus food because of how big the sandwich was lol. If I were on the show, let me tell you the food would have won because I barely got through half of the sandwich, but then there was TJ who downed all of his sandwich and banana pudding.

Whats Next?

Off to the Grand Canyon...

Good Bye Soaring Heights Community..

So, a lot of people haven't even seen our New Mexico home and we are already moving again! So I have gotten a lot of requests from family and friends to start a blog about our journey to Alaska. To be honest, I never thought I would have the time to write a blog and drive, yes I said drive to Alaska, but since my mother ever so kindly decided to take on the toddler challenge for 2 weeks (by pretty much kidnapping Sophia from me), I now have to much time on my hands lol. 

So I have decided to start at the end of our New Mexico journey and the beginning of our Alaska journey by starting with our move out day from the Soaring Heights Community :)

At the end of the day... We Passed our inspection with only having to pay a $50 charge for the garage oil stain. Which was fine with us!! I scrubbed that oil stain till my hand almost fell off lol. We will miss our home, but not the spiders, snakes, or mysterious critters that they have in the South lol.
