Heaven and Hell

So, last weekend, us and the coopers were able to pull off a super fun little adult-only getaway to Santa Fe to meet up with our friends Tami and Carlos. We planned it 8 days out and the fact that we all had childcare along with HEALTHY kids was quite miraculous so we took off Friday at noon and didn't look back! That is the 'heaven' part of this post.











And it was perfect. In every way. The four of us didn't stop talking for 5 hours straight on the way there and it was so nice. We all solved the worlds problems and felt pretty good about it ;)

Had to stop and see Billy the Kid!
































Carlos's mom, Vera, lives in Santa Fe, and made us The.Most.Amazing
authentic Mexican dinner on Friday night that pretty much changed my life. Oh my dear heavens. Homemade tortillas. Homemade tortilla chips. Homemade red chili sauce. Homemade enchiladas. Homemade beef tacos. Homemade salsa. All of it was
Ridiculously good!!! She's like a serious chef who knows what the heck she's doing. Everything was ready 'at the same time' hot and fresh. Unbelievable.

























































































Thank you Vera!!!!!!














These are a few pics of her beautiful home












































Here are some pics of the outside. Like, I wanted this house. Bad! Lindsay and Joey stayed here in the guest quarters and Brian and I stayed at Inn and Spa at Loretto in the square of Santa Fe. It was a gorgeous hotel!!































Saturday morning we hit the slopes and the weather was perfect. It was like 49 on the mountain and almost 60 in Santa Fe!! We had a great day!!!


























































































That night we went to Bull Ring in the square for a nice steak dinner.














Meanwhile back at the ranch, Amy and Fred kept the girls and they had a great time. Slick brought his girls donuts both morning :). How cute is that lady bug donut?!?!?























Now, the 'hell' to this post is Brian has the flu. Me and the girls are at my parents indefinitely :/. Poor guy, I do feel for him though.








Cheers,
Lindley
