Do you know the way to Santa Fe?

I know the song is "San Jose" - but I thought it was cute! :)

Nick and I are......ON VACATION!!!!!!

A while back, Nick and I had the joy of attending a charity dinner for pediatric medical research. On a whim, we put in a very lowball offer on a silent auction item - a week-long vacation in Santa Fe in a lovely condo donated by someone. Well. We got it! So fast-forward months and months and here we are on vacation - along with my brother Patrick and his girlfriend, Jillian. The condo is lovely, the city is great and we are having a lovely time! Plus, instead of paying a hotel chain or a landlord, the money all went to pediatric medical research so we can literally say that we are "doing it for the kids"! :)

Speaking of kids, we miss Kate and Liam TERRIBLY. But Nia and Gramps are staying with them and they are having a great time. We have been "skyping" with them over the computer so we get to see their cute little faces and have conversations that way. While they would have loved a lot of the activities that we have done so far, there is a lot that is not age-appropriate for them, too. Some of the hikes have been too dangerous so far and I must say it is nice to enjoy a late dinner with adult beverages! :) Plus, now that we have a peanut in school, it is not like we can take her out of school for a week!

Lots of pic to follow!
