We decided to make the scenic 2-hour drive to Northern New Mexico to a little ski town called Taos. You wouldn't believe this place was actually in New Mexico with all the greenery! It really was a picturesque little town- not as ritzy as Park City, but with a very homey feeling.
I'm a huge B&B fan, so when we saw this little place, we had to stop and check it out. They had all sorts of farm animals and Oliver loved the goats.
We stopped in at this cute old fashioned ice cream parlor in the town square.
Just like Santa Fe, Taos is an artsy town and this was a cool sculpture outside a gallery.

What you can't see is the saliva dripping out of this little guy's mouth...
A cute little alleyway in town.
We drove up to the Taos Ski Resort. Let's just say it leaves much to be desired. To make the trip worth it, Oliver and Christian stopped at this pretty stream and threw rocks while I took a cat nap in the car.The owner of the B&B recommended this hole-in-the-wall, hippie place for dinner. It was supposed to be good New Mexican food (which is just Mexican food smothered in green chile). Christian made the mistake of ordering his tacos with "no green chile" and I guess this warranted a visit from the chef himself to our table. He all but said that not having green chile was not allowed. Christian relented and actually loved it (We're making progress here, people!).
It was a great and memorable Labor Day!

In that pic of you and Ollie at the ice cream parlor- you two look exactly alike. Looks like a fun trip and a cool city. Green chiles and Christian? I am impressed!
haha- that is so funny you weren't allowed to not have the green chile. :) We'll have to make it up to Toas sometime. Hey Rebecca, sorry about not calling you back. If you have seen my blog you would understand! Well now that things are back to normal we should get together! Let me know when you can.
cute pictures. I love your hair btw. that is hilarious about the green chiles, wow I would be in big trouble if the chef made me order stuff that he thought would be good.
Fun trip! We have some friends that go to Taos every year for a family reunion...they love it!! Oliver looks so big and so cute.
I love that sculpture!! So cute . How was the B&B ...it looked really cozy and fun.
Wow, that is hilarious that Christian caused the chef to come out. Clearly it worked though and everyone was happy. Cute pictures, sounds like a great little trip.
Good job, Rebecca-- "we're making progress people!" Keep at it. What a fun little get-a-way, and what darling pictures of Ollie!
Great post. We LOVE hearing about y'all. We're getting pumped to see you.
