On Wednesday morning we loaded up the Baron (frankly, I'm surprised we were able to take off -we had so much stuff) and flew to Santa Fe, NM. It was scheduled to be an easy 3-plus hour flight, but we ended up spending a few hours in Plainview, Texas. The Baron had a minor engine problem that took the mechanic a few hours to figure out and then fix. Sofia was a real trooper and enjoyed finding and picking up the best rocks, walking up and down the stairs and exploring. We finally got back up in the air and made it to Santa Fe at sunset (Sofia slept nearly the entire way). It ended up being an absolutely beautiful time to fly into New Mexico. The pictures don't really do it justice....

Checking out the cactus in front of the restaurant (we even brought Aunt Shirl a few fruit from the cactus and they were pretty tasty)

This is pretty much how all of west Texas looks from the air

The light was perfect
