Taos

On Friday February 25th, we headed to Taos for a weekend of skiing and hanging out with Arren and Susan, a couple we've traveled with before and who haven't skied in about as long as CK has. I decided not to ski and to enjoy time reading and relaxing (and drinking hot cocoa, of course). The flight to Taos went well and we flew right over Santa Fe before heading up the valley to Taos. The views of the mountains on one side and the arroyos on the other were incredible.

Once we arrived in Taos, we met up with Arren and Susan, who left Dallas at the same time but beat us there by a little bit (they went over the mountains and we went around). We headed into town for lunch and stumbled upon an outstanding place called Graham's Grille. After lunch we walked around the square a little before heading up to the mountain so we could check out the ski slopes, gather the rented skis and get a lay of the land. It was about a 30 minute drive up and Sofia was so excited as the amount of snow grew as we headed up the mountain. She kept saying she wanted to "hug" the mountains in the distance because they were "little."

Once at the Taos Ski Valley, we got situated and set up for the next morning of skiing and ski school for Sofia. Sofia enjoyed playing in the snow and eating it, of course. We then headed back down the mountain and found our bed and breakfast which was a cute little place not far from downtown Taos. Our room was spacious and cozy and we relaxed and settled in for the night.

So happy!
