We started the morning with a delicious breakfast at the motel, After that, we hopped on the bus, ready to go. Our first stop was Walmart, where a small group picked up groceries for lunch and dinner. Then, we made our way to the White Sands Visitor Center, where we watched a short documentary about the park’s stunning landscape.
Soon after, we arrived at our private area in the park, with plenty of space and shade just for us. The food was spread out on the tables, and we opened up a big buffet. The rest of the day was spent enjoying the sunshine—playing games, relaxing, and sliding down the white dunes.
The most magical part of the day came as the sun began to set. The sky lit up with beautiful colors, and we all took lots of photos. As darkness fell, we headed back to the bus and returned to the motel. Dinner by the pool was laid out, and everyone helped themselves before heading to bed, tired but happy after a perfect day.
