Sometimes life is really tough....

An amazing weekend trip for our buddy Tim's birthday. Sardine Lakes, Gold Country, California. June, 2010.

Arroyo Seco, New Mexico

...on up into the mountains we went. There we found our second home away from home. In the small town of Arroyo Seco, just north of Taos...




We basically did nothing for three days. Ate, read, slept, laughed and soaked in the hot tub.

Bandelier National Monument, Jemez Mountains, New Mexico

After our stay in Santa Fe, where we visited a lot of museums and galleries we hit up a little nature in the form of Bandelier National Monument, on our way up to Taos...

This area was an ancestoral home of the early Pueblo people. They had carved out homes into the cliff walls, and you can climb into some of them and check it out...

Santa Fe, New Mexico

A random find on Craig's List, lead us to Casa Del Toro Bed and Breakfast; which, to our great surprise, had vegetarian breakfast!!

It was our own little house, as if we were house sitting for friends.


It was right around the corner from the Georgia O'Keefe Museum - and 100 galleries!

The Wigwam Hotel, along Route 66 in Holbrook, Arizona.

This looks like the "Wrecker" from the old Shafer Sohio station.

Who knew it would be freezing cold in Arizona?
