When Tracey was here we had the chance to head out to the sand dunes. It is pretty crazy. You drive just out of the 5th ring of the city and it looks like you are on the set of Return of the Jedi. Sand everywhere! There wasn't much water, but since it was late in the day it was nice and cool out. We had a picnic and watched the sunset. It doesn't matter where in the world you are, watching the sun go down is an amazing view!
