this weekend i flew out to Sant Fe, New Mexico to celebrate my grandparents (Mammaw & Hampaw) 50th wedding anniversary. it was a lot of fun… although it was a short trip. we dined in the wine room at the bottom of a very nice restaurant (didn’t catch the name). i supped the aged wine (again didn’t catch the name) had a pale ale or 2 with some quail, duck and i broke my diet for some creme brule (very much worth it ). we learned/re-learned how my grandparents met… on a blind date. there was a lot of laughter and a lot of love. my dad’s side of the family gets together much to0 infrequently so the gatherings are always dear… but this was truly a treasured time… i wish we could’ve all stayed for a week.

btw my dad, who owns a Colorado Springs Janitorial Services businees, scored some AWESOME resort & spa rooms from Priceline.com for $70 per night (listed everywhere else for $200… the rooms were p.i.m.p.

Santa Fe itself was kinda neat… definitely more for somebody who wants to shop (with some serious shopping money) and u have to enjoy southwestern art (or you’ll hate it fast). this time of year (Late April/Early May) is a great time to visit and ride horses on the trails… the air is brisk but not cold and the sun is shining and the mountains make a beautiful backdrop.

anyhow… it was fun and its cool to see your grandparents love each other more and more throughout the years… truly perfect for each other!
