a week

Our family went to Albuquerque last week so that I could attend a conference. We had a really good time during the week, and then when the conference was over we took a few days to see some sights in New Mexico.

First we went to Santa Fe (the capital). On Thursday night we crashed early at a hotel, before going out to look for a place to eat dinner. When the owner of a small eclectic cafe learned that we were from out of town she said that it was good we had chosen to eat there because "This is Santa Fe." I think she was right.

On Friday we saw the Capitol, and walked around the downtown area of the city. If you have heard that Santa Fe is a very culturally rich city, you have heard correctly. Look at this sign for a grocery store that we saw:

We also saw some slightly more traditional artsy things, such as this fountain which had created a lot of frozen water. I thought it was neat, so I am going to make you look at it.

Also, I thought this was really cute.

We spent Friday night and Saturday morning at Jarred and Andrea's house. Tripp and Carly were also there, and we all had a great time together. Liza was the star of the show.
