Last days in NM!

We are down to our last four days in Santa Fe, NM. We said our final farewell to Artie and Brenda today. (Sarah's parents) They've played a vital role in the success of our trip and being able to save money. They opened their doors to us for the last month and the hospitality has been much appreciated. Our last few days will be full of visiting friends and family, last minute road trip planning and an oil change. We take off from Santa Fe around 10am on Wednesday, July 28th. Sarah wrapped up her job today as well. Yesterday the movers came and picked up all of our furniture and other items. They are on the way to New York and are expected to arrive at our apartment between the 2nd and 4th of August.

I look forward to posting more information regarding our route to New York and the road trip its self. Thanks again for reading and all of your support.

Nambe Falls

In an effort to do a few last minute things before exiting New Mexico on July 27th we took the short trip to a local waterfall, Nambe Falls. http://www.nambefalls.com/ Artie, Brenda, Sarah and I embarked on the trip. The hike was steep at times but the views were worth it. There's a trail to the lookout and then a lower trail to the bottom of the falls. The lower trail requires you to walk through the river to get to the bottom of the falls. That water was very chilly, however once your feet are in it for a few minutes you begin to adjust. Here are a few pictures from our visit. Once again I hope you enjoy and thanks for taking time to read the blog!

Arches National Park

On our way home Sarah and I stopped at Arches National Park in Moab, Utah. Neither of us had visited the park before and although it was HOT we went for it and had a blast. Here is the link to the park if you'd like more specific information: http://www.nps.gov/arch/index.htm. The two of us had a blast visiting. The park has over 2,000 sandstone arches and a lot of spires. I can't even find a number. We took the short hike up to the Delicate Arch which is the famous arch that is featured on the Utah license plates. The detour was worth the time and we had a great time. Below are a few of the pictures I took while at the park.

Long time no blog

Finally a breath of air. I'm going to try and get us caught up on the blog. Also going forward I'll try to keep up with the blog. I'm going to start with the Montana trip.

The first week of June Sarah and I took a road trip to Missoula, MT for my sisters graduation. Congrats to Kylie on her graduation from Hellgate High School.

The trip was full of sitting around the fire, hanging out with family and visiting interesting places. I was able to catch up with a lot of friends and family that I hadn't visited with in years. For those of you that don't know I was born in Missoula Montana and my Dad, Step-mom and Sisters still live there.

It was nice to see my Mom again. She did live in Albuquerque but moved back to Montana to be closer to my Grandma and to enjoy a slower paced life. Here she is sporting the local University sweatshirt. GO GRIZ!

All in all it was great to see my family and introduce Sarah to all of them. Of course they loved her and I really enjoyed spending the week with her. Here are some more pictures of the trip below. As always . . . Thanks for reading!
