Family Trip to Taos, New Mexico

We took a trip down to Taos. It was beautiful.

We left Colorado early and dropped south through the San Luis Valley, watching the mountains trade places with high desert. By the time we hit Taos the light had gone gold and long, the way it only seems to out here.

What we did

• Wandered the old plaza and ducked into more galleries than we meant to
• Stood on the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge and dared each other to look straight down
• Ate our weight in green chile — the boy is officially a convert

What stuck with us

It’s the kind of trip that reminds you why we started keeping this journal in the first place. Nothing enormous happened. We just spent a few days together somewhere beautiful, and that turned out to be the whole point.

More photos to come once we sort through them all.
