A few months ago, my mom, aunt, and I decided to meet up at a casino in Albuquerque for New Years. My aunt found the casino, made all our reservations, and was basically the most awesome vacation planner EVER. I drove to Santa Rosa the day before we were planning to meet up, so I wouldn't miss ANY time with all 3 of us. Mom's flight was delayed but we were only about 30 mins late to the Brazilian steakhouse we had lunch reservations for. It was SO GOOD. When I picked her up, it was like magic. She walked out of the doors as I was pulling up to the doors! Perfect.
if you are ever in Santa Rosa, GO HERE
the days inn was very nice.
a NM brekkie: croissant, egg, cheese, and some VERY angry green chilis
at the steakhouse, yummy food, great company
the dessert was AMAZING. Butter cake with Mango serbet and raspberry sauce
our escape room the next day. AL's friend N came up for it
after escaping, we wanted food and drink!
good, but I preferred the Scottish ale
the casino had a bowling alley! Day 2 was cold, so we stayed inside.
We did a bit of gambling and sampled the food in the food court, as well as having drinks at the lounge (the bartender reminded me of some of my friends). The last night we stayed we went to the steakhouse
The next day AL went home after bfast, then mom and I went for ice cream before I dropped her off at the airport. I drove on home. Took 9 hours and felt like FOREVER!
I love seeing storms and not being in them
best pic I've taken in a while.
the sunset was fantastic.
As fun as it was, I was happy to be home. I took Tues off to recoup, relax, and prepare for the coming week. It's been a lovely day off. Back to the routine tomorrow 😁 As much as I love spending time with family, I'm always super bummed out after it ends.
