Happy Saturday, friends! The fam and I just spent a couple of days in Taos, New Mexico, for spring break. It was such a delight! This was a new state for everyone except me. (I was there for a press trip several years back and fell in love!)
We stayed at a remote little adobe Airbnb house set in the most gorgeous surroundings. For the girls, the hammock in the living room was a hit. For me, it was the glorious bathroom. For Chris, the plants everywhere were a joy.
We stopped in Pueblo, CO, so that the girls could run around on a playground for a bit and to grab some lunch. We ended up at Brues Alehouse, which was so yummy!The riverfront area was so sweet, with lots of historic markers, a little playground area, restaurants and breweries.Made it to our beautiful place! It was such. a. windy. drive! We saw at least four semi-trucks turned over on the side of the road … yikes!This bathroom … I MEAN…..The girls were obsessed with this hammock. They even took turns sleeping in it overnight <3It’s a beautiful little spot in the world.
On Wednesday we went skiing in Taos, which we really enjoyed. It was so quiet and laid back, especially for spring break, and there were plenty of hills for every level. We had the best time.
The village had the cutest European vibes, which of course we loved.Such a cute little town <3Ready to hit the trails!Emilia did a couple of magic carpets and a bunny hill and called it a day 😉 Still proud of her for trying!Chris & I took turns with Emilia while the other parent skied with the big girls. They are getting so good!Same girl. Same. After a long day, we grabbed dinner in the town at Antonio’s The Taste of Mexico.So. Stinkin’. Good.What a sunset from our backyard!
We went skiing on Thursday, too, and then Chris took the girls to a fun play and discovery place called Twirl, while I had a hot second back at the Airbnb to myself.
Ready for another day on the slopes!This cheetah-dragon wasn’t quite into skiing this trip. Oh well, we tried. Hopefully one more go-round of lessons and she’ll be there.My little buddy <3That teeny tiny face with the big ole’ goggles. Too much for Momma.A trip worth cheers’ing!A little Twirl playground action!Every good day ends with s’mores.
We drove home on Friday, but not before stopping off at Imagine Taos, the amazing (and totally free!), hands-on children’s museum in downtown Taos. They had rooms with sand and water, paints, pottery, sewing, and even a cute little room where kids could make fairy gardens. It was so sweet.
Investigator Emmy <3The girls even made pottery bowls that they got to keep!Grace in particular really enjoyed this room, which was very sweet <3We stopped in one of our favorite pit stops — Buena Vista — on the ride home. It’s such a gorgeous area.Cheers’ing to a beautiful trip. I’m so grateful for every adventure I get to go on with these cuties I get to call mine.
And that was our trip in a nutshell, friends! I highly recommend Taos (and New Mexico, in general), to anyone looking for an adventure. And until our next trip … bis bald, friends!
