Santa Fe - Day 1

Today is our first and only full day in Santa Fe. We planed Santa Fe into the trip because we felt like we needed a place to land after 8 hours of driving from the Grand Canyon. I am glad we did.

Today my sore throat is gone. I feel parched occasionally, but that's about it.

We left Cliff Dwellers around 8:00 AM and retraced our route south. Instead of turning back towards the south rim we headed on to Flagstaff. In Flagstaff we took a left and headed towards Albuquerque. 4 hours later we were in Santa Fe. So..Santa Fe? What gives? I don't get the attraction.

We checked into the hotel we had reserved. It was an older, very charming Inn. We arrived in our room and realized it was smaller than cliff dwellers. This was not going to work. So, we checked out and headed over to the Residence Inn at the Marriott. Here we had a kitchen, sitting area, and huge bathroom to spread out a bit. I plopped down on the couch to watch the debate and Jeremy made us some pizza rolls for dinner. It was great to have a good night's sleep.

Today we woke up and started talking about plans for the day. We both concluded we are just ready to go home. So, as soon as I press "publish" on this blog we will be loading up and heading back to Texas. We are ready to be home. This is the reason we really wanted to drive, flexibility. Once I am back home I'll have one final entry with my thoughts for this trip. Our next trip is to New York at the end of October for a short weekend to see some shows.
