Santa Fe

For Christmas we went to Santa Fe with Jerry's family. It was so much fun! We stayed on the Glorieta camp grounds in a lodge. The lodge was perfect, it had 8 rooms and 4 bathrooms and was a perfect fit for us.

We arrived on Saturday around lunch time. We ate lunch and then walked around the town square in Santa Fe. I love Santa Fe, it's so different from any other place. One time we walked into this store that sold very expensive jackets, next thing I know there is this beautiful Great Dane in the store just hanging out! I wish I could do that with Lucy and Rowdy... yeah right, she would destroy the store. Then we went to the Loretto Chapel where they had this amazing staircase. It was so beautiful.
After shopping, we went back to John and Susan's house and did Christmas and ate Gumbo.

On Sunday we woke up to an amazing breakfast prepared by Deanie and Granny. Later me, Jerry, John (Jerry's uncle), Susan (Jerry's aunt), Holly (Jerry's cousin), Drew (Holly's fiance), Haley (Jerry's cousin), and Bretton (Haley's boyfriend) went skiing. I usually snow board, but I wanted to try something new so I took an all day ski lesson. I like skiing, you don't fall near as much, but when you do fall it's so hard to get up. Everyone else stayed back and went sledding, including George!


After skiing all day, we came home and played a game where we split up into 3 groups and were asked questions about the family. My favorite question was about the Christmas Adam Party and the "Who said 'Are you naked' when they were 8 years old to random people in a hot tub thinking they were family members." Apparently, when Jerry was 8 he watched these music videos by Ray Stevens. One video called "It's Me Again Margaret" had a line that said, "Are you naked." Later, he thought his family was in the hot tub at a hotel and said, "Are you naked." I love hearing these funny stories about Jerry. Later that night we went into Santa Fe and looked at all the lights.



On Monday we went and bought shoes at John's store, the Running Hub. By that time, we had to catch a plane to go home. Santa Fe is such a unique place, I love it!
