The weather was pretty cool and windy, but the sun was shining every day, so we still enjoyed walking around the Plaza and getting out. We ate at some great restaurants (Pasqual's, Blue Corn Cafe, Upper Crust Pizza), went to some shops around the plaza, the library, a bookstore, art galleries, a children's museum. We saw a lot in 3 days considering we also all went back to the hotel in the afternoons to take naps with the kids.
Ava was so excited when we left Abilene at midnight. (Our plan was for the kids to sleep through the night, but it didn't exactly work that way.) Ava and I were in the back seat, and she would loudly whisper, "KATE...do you see Santa Fe yet?"
"Sorry, Ava, no...we're just to Lubbock. Can you go to sleep and dream about Santa Fe, and then maybe when you wake up we'll be there."
"Tell K-Papa that if I fall asleep, I want him to wake me up when we get close."
"OK. I'll tell him."
"Maybe I should sleep with one eye open for Santa Fe just in case."
Ava and Pierson at breakfast at Pasqual's after the nine-hour drive. They look surprisingly perky here, but that didn't last long. Other than that though, they were great travelers and perfectly pleasant doing all the things we dragged them to.

Yeah, I don't know what to say about these. Ava thought they would make good pictures, so she posed with them and asked me to take her picture. Funny girl!
During our middle-of-the-night car ride, I told Ava about the staircase at the Loretta Chapel, so we made sure to go see it.
And Ava and Summer enjoyed painting their faces at the children's museum.
And now it's Easter weekend, and then I get a Monday off before I have to go back to work. Love that!
