Santa Fe

Our ward had an Elders Quorum activity on Saturday to take the RailRunner to Santa Fe and visit the farmers market. It was a great day for us! Alexander got to ride on the train for 2 whole hours that day (1 hour each way) and we saw the farmers market and a cathedral and ate a yummy carnita. I got sunburned because it was in the 100's that day. I sprayed sunscreen all over me and the kids and I forgot to rub some in so I have red with some white water marks LAME. Anyway we let Alexander take pictures with the camera of the sites he saw on the train ride home (minus the Pueblos because its a federal offence to take pictures on a pueblo!!) Here are the pictures from the day (not many on our part but 115 on Alexanders part I just chose a few to see)

This is the Cathedral we saw (we just got pictures of the inside)
Not as large as a European Cathedral but impressive nonetheless.
On the way home we had our own table and everything.
The kids LOVED it as you can see
Alexander couldn't get enough and cried on the way home in the car
because we were no longer on the train

The rest of the photos are Alexander's. He was pretty quick with the push button. We are going to get him a kiddy digital camera next birthday (I know that seems early but he loves to take pictures and his own camera is a better choice than our expensive one.)

If you ever come to visit us we will take you to Santa Fe on the Rails (or drive either way) Its a fun little old city. They had a place downtown where all the jewelry artists showed and sold their work. SOOO many beautiful turquoise pieces and pottery! My goal is to get a gorgeous timeless turquoise necklace before we leave New Mexico.
