Day One - the drive to Santa Fe






Honoring my personal biorhythms (it's a vision quest right? who wants a schedule!) we got kind of a late start, 7:20 am. The car was so jammed with gear, I had to sit with my legs crossed.

A little nap and the soft book Mom sent down a while ago and Sky was amused.









10:20 am, ensue meltdown. Meltdown bothers Marc more than it does LB, so he is allowed to don headphones.











We didn't even use our cell phones very much the whole trip. The weaker the reception, the harder your cell phone has to work. And after the article on CNN last week about cell phones, I am even more squirrelly about them than before. I would take the battery out of Marc's phone when he wasn't looking. Or if he got on it, I could ignore Skyler and she would start screaming so he had to get off.

Well, Skymonkey got her way finally, and could be quieted in about five seconds out of her seat. Oh, and her art-deco mobile helped a little. I was really wishing I had broken down and bought those Baby Einstein DVDs.




















12 hours later and I am typing this from the Four Kachinas Bed and Breakfast in Santa Fe, that I found with the helpful advice on tripadvisor.com. I love that site. and it's really nice here. Off to get some (healthy, organic) Tex-Mex at Pasquales. Right after I go by Whole Foods and pick up lots of Kombuchas! It was a one-kombucha trip. And that one exploded all over the car and Skyler.

Next stop is Jes and Lisa's ranch in Colorado.

Miss you all!

(Aunty June, it is weird without you here!)


One more picture! This is why Skyler wins the battle of the wills, she is so cute!
