Santa Fe = Modified College Behavior

I went last week with my best girlies to Santa Fe for a much needed girls trip. So, I take the boys to school and meet Casey to head to the airport. What happened after that? Well, I think as soon as we got on the plane we started pouring cocktails to celebrate the start of our long weekend. We get to Santa Fe and continue the cocktails later in the afternoon and then again during and after dinner. I thought we might be getting off to a good old college start but then we petered out about midnight and all headed to bed.

I was feeling good about having not stayed up too late. I got to sleep in and it was heaven. No little hands poking me asking when I was getting up, no screeching in the living room fighting over toys, just me and a big, comfy bed. So, I roll out of bed and we all get ready for a fabuous day at the spa.

We sweated out all of the impurities of the night before in the sauna and then headed off to our private jacuzzi, sauna and cold plunge. So, all the girls are in the sauna and I start to get in but I misjudge the step and fall face first into the jacuzzi and twist my ankle in the process. So starts the name Cannon Ball and it sticks!

We finish at the spa and go back to the house for a little R&R before we head out to dinner. Dinner was great, the evening was perfect and we head back to the house where we proceeded to slowly turn into our former college selves. By that I mean drinking cocktails, dancing and staying up until the rooster crows (well, not that late).

The next night, same thing happened, it must have been the altitude :). However, that night we went dancing and danced all night. I decided Ryan needs to take dance lessons and then we would have a blast dancing together. I ran this idea by him and he said no bueno. Oh well.

It was a blast, although I do realize that I am no longer in college and cannot rebound quite like I used to. I think it took me 3-4 days to recover once I got home. Aren't you supposed to come home rested after vacation?

Anyway, the weekend was just what a busy frazzled mom of three boys needed. Already looking forward to next year!
