Heading out



We are heading out on a vacation. You knew we would not be able to resist a road trip for too long now that the weather has improved.
We thought we would leave Wednesday. Its Thursday morning and we are nowhere near ready to go. Fortunately neither of us are too hung up on keeping a schedule. We hope to be back Monday, but ... we shall see.
An aside - i have never understood why the house needs to be cleaned up before you go on a vacation. Must be a female thing. I have learned to not question it too much though.
Also a note for any criminal types that might be out there. We have people coming by every day to water the flowers and generally take care of things. Our neighbors will also be keeping an eye on things. So the place will probably have more scrutiny than it would have if we were home. We have also misplaced our pet rattlesnake again.
We are going to New Mexico. Why? Because it is there.
I will be posting from the road. With tales and photos.

  2. Yes the house does have to be clean before you go on vacation, because everyone loves to come home to a clean house! Enjoy New Mexico -- it's beautiful. Visit Santa Fe!!!

  8. Santa Fe has my vote! Great food and some cool ol' churches to visit. In the old town there is a french pastry shop which is out of this world. They have great coffee and sandwiches to go with the sweeties. I can't remember the name right now, but I'll work on it. Don't forget about the flea market, too.

  9. Santa Fe: Don't know if it was a "flea market" we went to, but the place had stuff from all over the world & a giant jackalope out front--fun shopping. Albequerque: Aquarium wonderful! Enjoy & drive safe!

  10. Stay away from Sonora. It used to be a very cool place, but it is now like a really hot mini-Aspen.
