Cake Tasting
Today M and I took Metro-North up to go to a bakery to taste cakes for our wedding. We were a bit excited, and our experience exceeded our expectations. We decided on a typical round 3 layer wedding cake. It has an off white looking frosting, and there’ll be some ribbon for decoration. The outside [...]
New Refrigerator
Today we received our new refrigerator. Last week I noticed stuff in our old refrigerator wasn’t really cold. I kind of knew something was off but it took me a few days to register. After shopping around online M and I settled on basic model from Best Buy. The downside was we had to wait [...]
Hulu Plus
With Netflix annoucning that streaming movies and TV shows will now cost extra I decided to check out alternatives. I have been skeptical about Hulu plus just because if i am paying for a streaming system I would hope that there is no commercials but with the ability to watch content via a Roku or [...]
The Trip Home From New Mexico
Today we had to get up early and make the drive from Santa Fe back to Albuquerque to fly home. I will take this time to mention we rented a XM Satellite radio for the trip from the rental company since we knew we would be in the middle of nowhere. Wow, those things suck. There were times when we [...]
Sante Fe
On our last full day of the vacation we spent it in downtown Santa Fe. We had breakfast at a really good place Cafe Pasqual’s. From there we walked around Santa Fe Plaza. M got some nice silver ear rings. After that we got our culture on and went to two museum’s. First up was the [...]
The High Road to/From Taos
We only planned on spending one night in Taos so we were upset to check out of the awesome hotel we were staying at. Before we left Taos we wanted to check out the Taos Pueblo. It is a UNESCO site or something like that. Any settlement that has been around for 1100 years is cool to [...]
Taos
Today was our travel day to Taos. Originally we were supposed to goto Bandelier National Monument but the concierge at the hotel said it was mostly closed due to fires. Instead we went to a pueblo near our hotel for a bit and then headed out to Taos. It was a a pretty decent drive of [...]
Horseback Riding and R and R
For our last full day in Albuquerque we got up early again (not as early as yesterday) and went horse back riding at the hotel. We didn’t know this but the hotel is on an Indian Reservation. We got to rid the horses on a trail on the reservation. It was pretty cool. We saw [...]
Hot Air Balloons and More
Our first full day in New Mexico was pretty fantastic. M and I debated on doing a hot air Balloon ride. We both wanted to but it was pretty expensive. In the end we said it is a once in a life time experience and we were in one of the best places in the world [...]

Today was our first day of M and I’s New Mexico vacation. In August we planned going away and after throwing around over a dozen [...]
