What a great day


Well to start off Valentines day week was a busy one. I surprised Ryan with a different surprise each day of the past week. I gave him a little gift each day, and then for his big gift i had his bike tuned and fixed. He does not like only having one working gear on his bike, so now he has 21 to chose from.
Yesterday Ryan mysteriously packed his red back pack and asked if I could be ready to go at one. I had no idea what he was up to, but we left. We ended up driving around the back side of the sandia mountains and to a spot where you could see all of Albuquerque from 10,000 ft. up in the air. Thankfully his red packback had my warm coat, snacks, and tennis shoes in it. We ended up taking a short hike to the kiwanas cabin. It was cool hike, Ryan liked all the Spanish moss hanging from the trees. The Cabin was a Civilian Conservation Corps project and was built in 1936. For being 10,000ft up in the air it was not that cold or not very much snow. After we drove back down and ate dinner at casa de benavidez which means House of lies according to Corey. The food was very delish and really good soppapias. Here are some pictures of our adventure.

It looks so beautiful! I wish we could go hiking here. But it is still cold. I think the high's are in the 20's maybe 40's. Wish we could have come on an adventure with you two.

That looks like great fun. How was eating at the house of lies? I think you misheard me when I told you. It really is house of good lives. But house of lies sounds more authentic.
