Hi. Driving down to New Mexico in two weeks (or so) [View all]

around the final weekend before the election. I'm taking my 3 year old son with me for a quick vacation. We have only two destinations that we plan to make: Santa Fe and Albuquerque (Saturday all day) - so I'm wondering what's out there for my son to check out at this time of the year. This is a weekend trip, obviously (5 hour's drive)

Suggestions always helpful!
