Day 20 - Santa Fe
If you are ever in Albuquerque - DON'T eat at Casa de Rosita. I'll leave it at that.
After we ate dinner in Albuquerque last night we drove the 45 minutes to our hotel in Santa Fe. The boys were asleep within seconds and by the time we got checked in all we wanted to do was sleep. It was a pretty early night.
We got up this morning and headed to breakfast at Tecolote Cafe in Santa Fe. AWESOME!! It was SO good!! We're actually going back there tomorrow for breakfast! After breakfast we shopped in a next-door native store and headed to Bandalier National Monument in Los Alamos/White Rock. We REALLY enjoyed Bandy. The boys loved climbing up into the cliff dwellings and I was looking everywhere for the pictographs. It was a great morning.
On the way back to the hotel from Bandy we saw an incredible rainbow. I actually managed to get a picture of it. We decided to go to the Plaza area of Santa Fe and shop. That was really cool. Don has fallen in love with Santa Fe. I've always liked it - but I don't know if I like it enough to live here.
Oh - we stopped at Buffalo Thunder - a casino in the Santa Fe area. We did a lot better there than we did in Vegas. :) I told Don that I liked the name of the place - which is why we stopped there. I told him afterwards "See - with a name like that it had to be good!"
We went to Olive Garden for dinner (we'd had enough Mexican for this month) and the boys fell asleep by the time we finished eating. Those ladders into the cliff dwellings must have worn them out really well!! We came back to the hotel and put the boys in bed and Don & I tried to clean out the car a little bit. We'd been doing well with keeping it clean & organized until we got to the Grand Canyon Railway. We plan to do laundry and finish the organizing in Oklahoma City so that the rest of the trip home goes smoothly.
Speaking of the trip home - we have decided to go to OK City tomorrow, Little Rock on Monday, Nashville on Tuesday, Roanoke on Wednesday and home to NYC on Thursday. Bad part - it means we have limited time in Roanoke and no side trip for 2 days to Black Mountain. Good part - I'm SO ready to be home!!!
Now that the car is clean, the boys are asleep and my blog is done - it's time to hit the jacuzzi!! Good night!!
