Santa Fe Part 2

New Year's Eve Finn went to bed normal time.  Tosh and I stayed up watching TV. He was out before the ball drop. I made it until midnight but had it on House Hunters and missed the ball drop by a few seconds. Oops. 
On New Year's Day we drove to Taos.
We spent the day looking around and window shopping. We are trying to teach Finn the art of window shopping.  He wasn't impressed with the not buying stuff part...
 We really enjoyed spending a lot of time at the house.     
Finn loved getting to watch cartoons that he normally doesn't see.  He is a Netflix kid so commercials are foreign to him.
He had a crazy hair day...
I was in love with this trash can set up.  All I talked about was this and Tosh now has a project on his hands. He agreed this would be handy (and I can start recycling again!) 
I did my fair share of TV watching. Normally I watch zero hours of TV a week.  I will on occasion watch a Netflix show, but I would say I do that maybe once a quarter. I really enjoyed getting to lounge around...
Finn stayed with his nap and bed routine very well. He would initiate it himself. The thing was he would do it all very early (especially including mountain time).  He would be in bed and asleep before 8 o'clock.  This is unheard of for him. Even though he "goes" to bed early, it takes him a very long time to go to sleep.   He also slept alone. I would leave after he went to sleep and get to go watch 3 to 4 hours of TV.  Kind.Of. Awesome.

Anyone who has followed the blog knows how much I enjoy a good Farmer's Market or Flea Market...
On Saturday we got to walk around and enjoy this...
I am a sucker for jewelry.
 I had to get this...
It reminded me so much of my time in D.C..
Finn stopped and wanted to know if this was real...
We ate at some amazing places thanks to my friend Kendra's recommendations.  We had some other recommendations that we will have to try the next time.  
If you are ever in Santa Fe, follow Kenda's advice and go to Pink Adobe, Del Charro,  The Shed and La Casa Sena.
La Casa Sena was probably our favorite food there and possibly some of our favorite food anywhere.  The Parmesan fries were maybe the best fries ever next to the duck fat fries we had in San Diego. I had a BLTA that was so good Tosh almost ordered a second meal just to have one.  The atmosphere was lovely...
We all ate a lot and enjoyed the meals out.  
We stopped in Trader Joe's. We love that store. It was the store we shopped at almost daily in Arlington.  Finn whizzed around picking out foods to bring home...
On our way out, we stopped to get some coffees...
Finn got some dried strawberries. He pulled one out and said "Look a heart. Heart. Love!"   
I thought it was so cute and a great way to wrap up the trip.


Heart. Love.  Happy New Year.
