A Birthday Road Trip
Krisanne Turns Sixty!
Northern New Mexico is one of Krisanne's favorite places, in particular the Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort. Road Trip! 😎
Otto's more than willing.
So's Krisanne
Annnnnd, we're off! Kinda...
Forgot Krisanne's jacket, so we had to quickly double back...Relive shows all. 😂Relive 'Krisanne’s Birthday Eve Road Trip!'
Relive 'To Ojo Caliente!'
The Valles Caldera, the remains of a volcano formed about 70,000 years ago. Now a national preserve, and home to over 8000 elk.
Relive 'Taos'
There are multiple yoga classes every day...Krisanne loved each one, and all had different teachers.
But it is still chilly at night, in the 30s, so this 30 year old bunny-slipper-approved Port somehow evaporated in front of the fire.
To La Posada
After three days at Ojo, and the Wednesday morning yoga class, we loaded up Otto and headed to Winslow, AZ (yes, that Winslow, AZ) for a stay at La Posada and dinner at the Turquoise Room.
The Ojo Caliente Yoga Yurt
Adjacent to the river.
And the meditation zone.
La Posada, "the resting place," was one of the original Fred Harvey railroad hotels, and first opened in 1930. It remained open for only 27 years, In the 1960s, the building was gutted and turned into offices for the Santa Fe Railway. It was purchased in 1994 by Allen Affeldt, who, along with his wife, oversaw the hotel's renovation.
Beautiful drive right up until I-40.
Still pretty high.
At La Posada.
Drinks at the bar before dinner...a very nice white from France for Krisanne and for me, a "Siena," the gin and tonic we learned in Siena, Italy...Hendricks, Schweppes, cucumber, fresh ground pepper on the top. Yum.
Dinner at the Turquoise Room, fabulous as always.
We love this place, it never disappoints.
Time to head home...
I think she had a good time and hopefully won't have to call...in fact, rumor is there are already fall reservations at Ojo Calliente. 😂
