Lowthers and Galloways take on NM and CO!

Last week was super fun getting to spend time with Brian and Debbie in town. We crammed in a bunch of things on their whirlwind tour of the west. We did everything from site see in the Jemez Mountains, to tour Jack’s and my work places, to eat ginormous burgers at Bobcat Bite, hike to the top of our ski hill in Santa Fe, act like tourists and play around in the Plaza, chill with some awesome pizza from Il Vicino in some smashing outdoor seating, to site-seeing in Ouray, CO before running a 1/2 marathon at 7800’, to taking the long way home down winding roads with spectacular views, to confusing our friends at church when Debbie and I sat next to each other, to hanging out with the awesome Weavers and hiking through the mountain right out their front door, to sharing some crazy good Asian food from our favorite Jinja, to cliff jumping in Abiquiu Lake to playing a rousing game of Settlers, to finding fun Native American made jewelry at a fantastic deal, to taking some really fun self-timer photos and videos….all in all it was a great visit from wonderful family. Brebbie ran their race well and didn’t let the elevation affect them in the slightest. We enjoyed wearing matching outfits and learning that eating green chile the day before the race probably wasn’t the best idea (ahemwon’tnameanynamesbrianahem)!! Thankful for family and thankful for time to get to spend with them. We love having guests so…pack your bags and head west young man (or woman) and give ol’ Jack and me a visit (unless of course you’re on the west coast, then head east!)!!
