Gracie and I drove to Taos, NM with my dad & my cousin AJ for my cousin Kalmy's wedding. It was an 11 hour drive and Gracie was, no joke, AMAZING! I was shocked and so relieved, she was so good. I'm sure it helped that I was in the back entertaining her the whole time. It was a beautiful drive through Southern Utah, Colorado mountains (lots of gorgeous trees), and the New Mexico desert. We stayed in a rented house with Mike and Shelley and Michelle, Michelle and I shared a room.
We got there late Friday night. Saturday morning we walked around the town and saw some art shops and walked through the market. The art there and the feel of the town is awesome. It is very artsy and hippyish. All of the buildings, businesses and all, are low and adobe. I love it there! The wedding was that afternoon at a historic catholic church. This was my first catholic wedding, but I missed most of it because Gracie was wild so we played outside.

The wedding reception was on a beautiful ranch. They served delicious food, had a great musician playing, and we danced for hours. I had so much fun with my cousins and I'm so glad I was there for Kalmy's big day! Gracie did great too, with no nap and staying up late, dancing with mom all night. The only thing that was missing was Dawson, we sure missed him!
On Sunday, we went to Aunt Sagen's house in the earthship community and then headed home. Very short trip, but definitely worth it!

My phone was broken during this trip so I didn't take as many pictures as I wanted to! They are all from my dad's phone and my tablet.
