White Sands Missile Range


Josh and I started our El Paso Bucket List.  We only have 3 more months here and lots of fun places to visit in that time.  Our first outing is out at the White Sands Missile Range.  I was a little skeptical of the day.  I really have no interest in looking at what I though were going to be "big guns"but boy was I surprised.  The museam had an impressive array of military vehicles, rockets and weapons.  It was almost intimidating to look out and see all that they had. 
Out of the stroller and moving around.

We learned that this is one of the only Patriot Missile Launchers that is open to see into.  


A replica of what the atomic bomb casing looked like.  







Im not sure why we took this pic, but the size of the rocket behind her is ridiculous.  



Doesn't this look intense.  


This helicopter was damaged during the Vietnam War.  I couldnt even imagine!
