Santa Fe



This weekend we went to Santa Fe to hear Matt's favorite piano player of all time - Doug Montgomery at Vanessie's. He was AWESOME. He takes requests and can play anything. We heard Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, Les Mis, Sound of Music, Flight of the Bumblebee, etc. He's really talented (as he should be since he graduated from Julliard)! This pic is of us at Vanessie's. I always seem to forget how pale I am until I see pictures of me next to Matt! ha!

We had a great time, ate some great food and happened to visit right during the annual Indian Art Festival. I thought this would be a great opportunity to pick up a cool turquoise bracelet or necklace. Every single woman I saw in Sante Fe was wearing about 20 pounds of turquoise - drapped from everywhere imaginable. So the plan was to swing by the art show this morning and join the turquoise trend. That plan died when I saw the first pricetag! Unbelieveable - plain simple pieces were going for $300. So we ate breakfast burritos and walked around for a bit and that was that. We also happened to run across a TRADER JOE's! Yipppee! The only place that sells Two Buck Chuck. Gotta love that! We left Molly home completely alone for the first time (no one came to check up on her) and she did perfect!
