Santa Fe.....You Took Me Away!

Chris and I took one last babymoon before they cut me off from travel in a few weeks, and Baby Brant gets closer to making his arrival. :) All I can say about our amazing weekend in Santa Fe was "bliss'. From the incredible resort.....to the relaxing 5 hours in the spa...all the way to the the yummy food that we had. It was just a super fun weekend, and we were SO glad we were able to get away for the MLK weekend together. :)

We owe a huge thanks to Chris's mom for keeping Braden for us while we ventured out for our weekend in New Mexico. We REALLY appreciated it and Braden had a wonderful time...hanging out with his grandparents and getting to play a lot with his cousin Riley. :) He was happy to be hanging out in Dallas during that time. Not sure he even missed us at all! HA! :

The place that we stayed out in Santa Fe was 5 star all the way...seriously incredible!! It was called Encantado, an Auberge Resort. There are just a few of them around North America, and I knew that I wanted to check it out. :) It called to me. HA! :)

We showed up pretty late on Friday night b.c our flight was delayed almost 3 hours into Albuquerque and then we had to drive to Santa Fe. But they treated us awesome from the minute that we arrived...even if it was really late. :) We had a personal escort to our villa..and they were willing to set up the fire in the fireplace, etc. The had lots of neat little perks like free non alcoholic drinks from the mini bar, champagne in the room, heated bathroom floors, personal driver service back and forth from downtown Santa Fe, and even a super sporty 2011 Mercedes convertible to drive while we were there. Oh yes...that was the BEST part!! We loved kicking in around town in that fancy car! :)

Here are some pics from our weekend of fun and relaxation. :)
We love you Encantado Resort!! :) And our view of the Sangre' de Cristo Mountains.... We loved our villa!! :) So nice!
We loved all of our free Izze Pops in the minibar. :)
The Mercedes convertibles really were beckoning us to check them out. :) So we obliged. :) Chris with his new car.... :)Ahhh....the day at the Japanese Bath House and Spa. Go Ten Thousand Waves!! We had a wonderful time for 5 hours there.....very relaxing and incredible hour and a 1/2 long massages. I did not want to leave after the treatments! :) We also loved the foot soak and the relaxation room. :) On our way up to our private hottub that we rented.......
It was so nice to sit in there when it was super cold outside and snowy. :) YAY! :) The cold plunge...as if we needed that with the temp outside. :) Please don't tell me it is time to leave. :(
More beautiful homes...........After the day at the spa, we headed downtown to check out The Plaza and some of the fun places down there. The super cute Inn of the Anasazi.... :)More cute hotels around The Plaza....
