Happy Valentines Day

Happy Belated Valentines Day Everyone!

Sorry for not posting all weekend, I was a little busy being swept off of my feet. <3

My sweethearted husband planned a weekend getaway for us in Santa Fe, one of my favorite places on earth!!

February 13th of last year he planned a similar trip and surprised me with a marriage proposal...in his snowboarding thermals. He "didn't want to be corny and propose on Valentines Day" but thought it was a great excuse for leaving the ranch for a weekend. It was such a blast last year, he decided to recreate some of that same fun this year-and he did just that!

Besides sleeping in, relaxing, and just enjoying one anothers company away from cattle, we did alot of eating. Santa Fe is known for its concentratinon of arts, music, and fine dining. There is such a free-spirited, creative, eclectic, artistic, hipster vibe in the air, along with the smell of the most delicious food you can wrap your mind around! Santa Fe loves to eat, and loves to eat healthy. From the Farmers Markets to the farm to table fast food operations around town. Our first pit stop was Real Food Nation.

It's a cozy "fast-food" restaurant on the outskirts of Santa Fe. They grow their own food right there on the lot and use organic, and natural products, AND it's delicious!

The first night we found ourselves at San Francisco St. Bar & Grill, a hidden second story "American Bistro" overlooking histroric downtown. The restaurant was very casual, and after peering around the place we realized everyone was ordering hamburgers. They looked so yummy! We decided to follow the locals and fall in line with the orders of hamburgers. We're so smart.

Our cheeseburgers were so filling I could have went without eating for a week...but we were in Santa Fe, so that was just not happening!! The next morning we woke up early and wasted no time getting to The Burrito Company for breakfast and apple cider. :)

I give you the breakfast burrito. I think it speaks for itself.

I'm drooling just remembering how delicious.

I know someone that could better explain just how good it was.

Nevermind, he's busy.

Moving on.

Night two we decided to go to Rooftop Pizzeria for dinner, where last year we went to celebrate our engagement! Here they serve gourmet pizzas on the roof.

At this point in our visit I had at least put on 5 pounds, but I still had two more to go. (According to my scale post-Santa Fe)

Our last morning before leaving we ate breakfast at Santa Fe Baking Company & Cafe. 

Can you guess whose breakfast is whose?

Did the strong, weathered hand in the first pictures give it away? Yeah, thought so.

I love Santa Fe. I love food. I love my valentine.
