Day 4

Day 4
Santa Fe, NM - Cortez, CO
Miles Driven: Approx 280 Miles

With all that night driving yesterday, we decided to take it easy today and explore Santa Fe.

Amaaaaazing breakfast at Chez Mamou. There are a lot of French places in Santa Fe, what's that about? Also got pastries to go. We totally blew our daily meal budget in one place, but shut up.

Jason and I love toys and games. Our house is full of robots, toys, and photos of toys. We always go into little local toy stores because it's super fun. Being pregnant made it even more fun because we had one more reason to think about toys.
The Moon Rabbit Toys sign lured us in. Toys AND games! We're gonna be in here for a while. The owner of the store was sitting at a table explaining a board game to a guy. We wandered in and browsed. This place was awesome. But things were different. Now there is less reason to think of toys. Less reason to buy them. I kept it together.
They had amazing stuff. Wooden cars, felt food things, the book about the marionette who feeds pigeons.
There was a display of little games invented by the store. We had the lady explain all the rules to us, and we bought every single one. She was so cool. Jason was trying to remember a game he had played a while ago and she gave him her card and said "email me when you remember the name of it, that sounds awesome"
We left feeling happy. Toy stores are still one of our happy places.
And we were excited about our new games.

We shopped around some more in Santa Fe. We love it here! I didn't take too many photos of the town because it was very cloudy.

On our way out of town, it was time to visit the Brontosaurus Family.
It. Was. Time.

So close!

Here they are!!! OmyGawd they are so sweet. These guys are behind the fence of a business and the gate was closed, but I got out of the car and took a million shots.

Mommy, Daddy and baby.

Watch out for the T-Rex coming to get you!

Family.

More night driving. We switch off more. More snow, more slick roads. We didn't get to see any New Mexico countryside because we've only driven through it at night! We talk about planning a future trip to Santa Fe. That was fun.

It stops snowing as soon as we cross into Colorado. Did we beat the snow storm? Stay tuned!
