My husband received an invitation to attend a 4 day conference at the Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado in Santa Fe, New Mexico, last June. To be perfectly honest, I would never have picked Santa Fe as a weekend destination, as it is very far from our hometown of Montreal and not worth all the travelling for 4 little days... or so we thought... That being said, this trip would give us a chance to get away from it all: work, kids, school and homework, chores, end of school year activities and temporarily focus on having fun, just the two of us, like the good old days.
Ultimately, Santa Fe was a fantastic destination. I would never have imagined that New Mexico was so beautiful. The desert landscape, the climate, the deep blue sky, the vegetation, the architecture, everything was so different from what I was used to in Montreal. Visiting the Georgia O'Keefe museum was also an amazing experience, since I had always admired her beautiful paintings. We also enjoyed exploring the petroglyphs and dwellings carved into the rock cliffs of Bandelier National Monument, Santa Fe's farmers market, shops, art galleries and great restaurants. We promised each other that we would soon return for a longer stay.
