Spring Break in Santa Fe






A couple weeks ago, Brian's dad joined us for Spring Break. He drove all the way from Clovis to Clovis to come visit. He got into town just before a big snow storm hit us. We drove out on Friday to spend a couple nights in Santa Fe in the downtown area. Thanks to Rob, we stayed at a beautiful 4 star hotel right in the middle of the Plaza. We had a great time looking at all the cool art that we couldn't afford, eating the most wonderful food that we can't find in Clovis, and spending quality time with Brian's dad. It was a little chilly at first because of the cold front, but it did not stop us from having a great time. We even made it to Trader Joes and picked up tons of wine (I guess we'll need to save it for a few more months) and some awesome food that we kept on ice. Saturday night we went to a Tapas Bar, no not a topless bar:) They had this cool jazz band playing and we ate Tapas which were delicious spanish appetizers. Rob also picked out this fabulous breakfast place he had seen on the food network called Harry's Roadhouse. It was this diner that apparently Gene Hackman frequents and I can see why. Oh man, the food was sooo good. I would consider getting up at 5am just to get there for breakfast and drive back to Clovis. We liked it so much we went there twice. On Sunday, we dropped Rob off at the train station, but not before we had lunch at a Brazilian all you can eat bbq called Tucanos. It was sad to say goodbye, but also great to get back to our little guy Kasey and our little girl, Gracie. I'm pretty sure Brian's dad gets voted best house guest. He has already made his way out to Clovis 3 times to see us. We're not in the most desirable part of the United States, but that doesn't stop him from visiting:) Overall, it was a great spring break. Santa Fe was a really cool place. I loved looking at all the neat art and pottery stuff. Hopefully we'll get to visit again soon. Anyone interested?
