SANTA FE WEEKEND WITH ADAM & MEGAN

We spent the Fourth of July weekend with Adam and his girlfriend Megan Ricks and Megan's parents Bill & Katie. We ate as much New Mexican food as we could - basically planning every activity around our next feeding...We began at Maria's Restaurant on Thursday night - Tom's sister and husband (Lucy & Ron Peterson) also joined us - they live in Santa Fe...



FRIDAY FUN ON THE FOURTH!
We began the day early with "Pancakes on The Plaza"- an annual Santa Fe tradition benefitting United Way(Tom's sister Lucy is the Chairman of The Board for United Way)


Eating lunch at The Shed....Browsing around the various artists and their booths...



Feasting at The Blue Heron at Sunrise Springs Resort & Spa...



Fireworks Finale!



SATURDAY SIGHTSEEING
We shopped the Farmer's Market - lots of fun foods, flowers and people watching!


We met up with Adam, Megan, Bill & Katie and rented motor scooters and toured Santa Fe. We stopped for a relaxing and yummy picnic. The afternoon ended with an electric lightening & thunderstorm booming literally over our head - we parked the scooters at a gas station and ran for cover!





In the late afternoon we found ourselves on Lucy & Ron's back verandah looking out over the Jemez Mountain Range watching a wonderful sunset...



SUNDAY IN SANTA FE
We began the day brunching at La Fonda and exploring the various sights off the Plaza (like the miraculous stairway at the Loretto Chapel) and of course shopping!







We spent the afternoon "back at The Ranch" - the Rv Resort where Bill & Katie were staying - we played in the pool and then played a rousing and hilarious set of "Catch Phrase" ...ok the guys won....yadda yadda yadda...



We ended our last evening together with a fabulous dinner under a double rainbow at Los Mayas. Thanks for a great weekend Adam & Megan - Bill & Katie - we loved being with you guys!
