cake. chronicle eight.

happy monday!!! sorry i didn't get this posted yesterday, i had a weird 24 hour bug and felt funny all day. happy to report it's gone today :)

here are a few pictures from my great trip to the wild wild west, new mexico! my mother-in-law and i made the long trek out there to watch mr. coffee's soccer team play in a soccer tournament. lucky for us when you head to a soccer tournament, as a fan, there isn't much to do between the friday night & sunday game except hang out, shop, eat-out, and sight see. so, we did just that!!! our hotel was right across the street from a huge new outdoor shopping center. score. we spent a few hours there each day grabbing some caffeine,  dropping a few dollars on some new clothes, and getting grub!

we also made the one hour drive from albuquerque to santa fe.  what. a. beautiful. drive. unfortunately, this was the day i got the worst of my altitude sickness. not fun. thankfully i pushed through, with the help of some drugs & lots of water. i was not missing out on my own vacation!

okay take a look at some of the high-light pictures from the trip.
hope you enjoy.

in the wild west. a donkey welcomes us to santa fe.


mr. coffee coaching.


we took a gondola ride 2.7 miles up into the mountains. the ride & the views took my breath away.


one of the amazing views.


here are my two favorite looks from the weekend out west. we had beautiful sunny days and cooler nights. i want to make sure i thank my amazing mother-in-law for snapping some great photos for me & for also going on an amazing, starbucks filled, shopping-till-we-drop, driving around in a 2012 red ss camaro, beautiful trip out west :)

  1. Ohh loving both of those outfits, perfect casual but colorful vibe, not the least bit touristy. It looks like you had a great visit, glad you're feeling better too!
