Did you know that we live very close to Santa Fe? Me either. Until recently. So we took the trip on a Saturday and found out the following:
- The burritos were not as spicy as we thought they would be. I kept waiting for someone to jump out from the back in the restaurant and throw some extra spicy peppers on our food, but it didn't happen. Wyatt is not mad about that. We aren't sure why he is mad.
- There are about, uh, fifty ba-zillion art and jewelry stores. Which turned out great because my kids are totally into art, jewelry, NOT touching expensive things, and not being bored with those kinds of stores. We hardly ever had to say, "don't touch that or stop running." We did find one super sweet dog statue that only cost $6000. I think there's a good chance Wyatt might get it for Easter.
- There are some cool benches somewhere around that town, and we sat on them, though not very comfortably. I like the shadows in the pic.

- Plus, it was super cold, and we had to order an overpriced and not big enough cup of hot chocolate.
- You know, rereading this post, I feel like I'm giving you the impression that we didn't have a good time, but we did. Noah summed it up best: as we were driving home he said, "I'd be fine if we never went there again." Ha. Ha. Noah is so funny. I, however, would like to go back someday and peruse the art and jewelry stores and eat at one of those fancy pantsy restaurants. I think it's more of a date place. Maybe I'll convince the mister to take me back on a date. That's probably also the same day that I get that $10,000 necklace I thought was so cute.

So - yeah. You have to go up to Santa Fe in the summer OR go with us. That's the only way to guarantee a good time! LOL.
The Plaza is full of fun vendors, music and is def more kid friendly than it is this season.
Also - when you and Mr. want to enjoy Santa Fe - you have to go to all of the churches (for historical reasons) and you have to eat at the "Ore House" for dinner on the Plaza - best halibut I've ever had in my life!
Hands down best line of the post "$10,000 necklace I thought was so cute."
We'll have to go to Santa Fe when I come next week. Oh wait..........
I'm not sure when I'm going to stop being bitter about that but I know it's not very soon.
