Pagosa Springs As we drove north from Santa Fe we noticed the landscape begin to change into lush greenery just as we crossed the Colorado border. Our stopover for the night was in Pagosa Springs – a quaint yet bustling ski and hot springs town. At this point it had rained every day of our trip so far, so we weren’t surprised that the clouds rolled in when we got out of the car for a late lunch. It started … Read More
The Interactive Art Space You Need to See to Believe Before we began our road trip we asked for recommendations from friends and family on places to see and things to do along our route. One of the responses we received was “Meow Wolf in Santa Fe is supposed to be incredible” – an understatement to say the least. We arrived in Santa Fe in the late afternoon and had to leave the next morning so we didn’t have much … Read More
Roswell, White Sands National Park, and Santa Fe One of the most interesting things we’ve noticed so far is the variance in landscape as we drive north. Nearing New Mexico from Texas we began rising in elevation and even passed by the highest peak in the state – Guadalupe Peak. Our first stop in New Mexico was Roswell. We got there in the late afternoon on Saturday so not much was open. We didn’t do any of the UFO tours … Read More

This was our first stop not only because of the mysterious Marfa lights, but also because this small, artsy town was recommended to us a number of times. The drive from Austin to Marfa was filled with flat landscapes full of oil fields and windmills – not much to write home about. The town of Marfa has had many lives. Founded … Read More

Our designated home-base was a prime location in the LoDo neighborhood at the Kimpton Hotel Born. It is a boutique hotel with somewhat smaller rooms but very nice amenities. When reserving the hotel Joe had let them know that it was our 5 year anniversary and they had a bottle of champagne and a fruit and cheese … Read More
We decided on a week-long winter vacation in Colorado because, not only have neither of us ever been there, but we plan to spend time exploring the state this summer during our road trip. This way we could experience both spectrums of the seasons. For the first part of our trip we drove to the picturesque ski town of Steamboat Springs. After landing in Denver, we headed to the Silvercar rental car lot to pick up our 2018 Audi A4. … Read More
