This past weekend I traveled to Santa Fe, New Mexico to visit with family & explore a new town. The purpose of the trip was to celebrate my step-mom's birthday which was a lot of fun.
I left Iowa on Thursday & flew into Minneapolis then straight to Denver without any complications. I think Minneapolis is one of my favorite airports to connect through. I've never had any trouble and although it's a huge airport, everything is so easy to navigate. :)
So Thursday night I stayed in Denver with my siblings that live out there & then
Friday morning we started the drive to New Mexico. At first the drive was gorgeous, nothing but sunshine & views of the mountains. But the 6 hour drive proved to be a boring one. We did our best to keep it exciting (I took a nap or 2), and we even stopped in Las Vegas... (the small town in New Mexico..)Finally we'd made it to Santa Fe and although the weather wasn't very warm (they were experiencing a 'deep freeze' themselves) the rental house was amazing & we were happy to finally have made it.
The weekend proved to be a great one. We always have fun when the family is together, especially when we can explore a new place. Santa Fe is a fun city, but has a small town feel. There is a lot of culture there, with a big heart for art. We visited a few galleries and museums and overall had a relaxing weekend.
On the way to the airport, we had some time to kill in Albuquerque so we explored downtown a little (from the car). There honestly wasn't much to see. The 'downtown' area seemed like a few blocks and not much else. I'm not sure if it was the visibility of seeing so far that made everything seem so small, but again it felt like a small town. I'd have to say New Mexico isn't the place for me, but I definitely enjoyed the visit :)
