We’ve done a lot, seen a lot, eaten a lot, learned a lot, gassed up a lot. What we haven’t done much of is just rest. Today we took a down day to just rest at a hotel.The definition of rest, for this family, isn’t sleeping in until noon and sitting in front of the tv for the remainder of the day. I don’t know what our problem is. After breakfast we played at the pool for a couple hours. Then we went to a local New Mexican restaurant for some authentic food. YUM.
I love me a local chocolatier. I saw this place listed on UrbanSpoon the other day and have been thinking about it ever since. We got taste tests of many of their different drinking chocolates, some mild, some spicy. We settled on two to share and chose several truffles and cookies. Du even got a chocolate covered red chile. I did not try that.
Needless to say, we all rolled out of there fat and happy. We came back to the hotel where Du and the kids cleaned out the truck. Somehow a tornado ripped through the back seat and all the girls’ items were thrown everywhere. How could that happen. . .
I got to do laundry. Here’s where I could throw in another tip. Bring laundry detergent. I forgot to buy some at WalMart before we got back to the hotel and ended up having to buy some at the front desk. Not cheap. The laundry took so long that the rest of the family got to swim again while I slaved away in the laundry room, on my computer, searching for more hotels/campsites for the rest of our trip.
