Christmas on the Side: Santa Fe

First let me explain the title: our Christmas present from Will's parents was a family trip to Santa Fe.... .... and in Santa Fe if you are not sure if you want green or red chiles then you ask for "Christmas on the side"...  hence the perfect title for my blog post.  Isn't it amazing how things come together sometimes! 

It was a wonderful long weekend with each day as a different adventure.  On Museum Day {Friday} I discovered that I can spend much longer in museums than any of my travel companions before they become "arted out".  During Spa Day {Saturday}, we spent 5 heavenly hours at Ten Thousand Waves and I confirmed my inability to take a cold plunge which I am hoping leads to a doctor's Rx for more massages in my future.  On Ski Day {Sunday}, I learned that slow and low is the tempo for my ski legs...Ski Santa Fe was the perfect low key spot for a beginner like me, I  loved the bunny hills and did quite well for my only 9th-18th hours of skiing.  Lastly during Photographer Landscape Exploration Day {Monday}, I again realized that I have a lot to learn on my camera if I am ever going to get out of "auto" mode....alas here are some my shots....
