This past weekend Chris and I went to Santa Fe with our good friends Mike and Bryn for a marriage retreat. This was our third year going. We like to think of it as our yearly scheduled maintenance. Usually we stay in Glorieta, NM where the conference is held, but this time we got a room in Santa Fe (one of my very favorite places on this earth!). Mike and Bryn stayed in Santa Fe also and we had a WONDERFUL time double dating with them all weekend.
On Saturday morning we decided to spend the whole day having fun in the down town Santa Fe area. We went to the Farmers Market (which was one of the best I have every been too), had a unbelievably good lunch at Flying Star (my absolute favorite restaurant), went to REI and let the guys shop to their hearts desire (Chris got a great soft shell jacket for his birthday), walked around the plaza, had a great dinner from Trader Joe's, went to a great seminar at the conference and ended the day off with a delicious dessert from Flying Star. It was a wonderful day. I think that Bryn and I wore out the boys a bit though, due to the fact that shopping energizes us and it wears them out. But they were incredibly good sports and let their girls have fun. Here are a few snap shots of the great day!
The Farmers Market was at the newly renovated Santa Fe railroad yard.
All of the produce the so fragrant and at the peak of freshness.
The sky was so big, clear, and blue. Classic New Mexico.
We also took the Starbucks Via challenge and loved it! While we were walking around the plaza Bryn found the perfect Camel Back, a Starbucks coffee dispenser!
And here is the happy couple! :)
