Santa Fe...

I went to Santa Fe this weekend for E's bachelorette party. Here are a few things I learned:

1. There are more cute guys per square foot in the Houston Airport than any other place on earth.

2. The cheapest flight leaving the Houston Airport is $59. Worth it.

3. Thursday nights just got a whole lot more expensive for me as I am going to start camping out at the airport terminal bars, buying said cheap ticket and flirting with above mentioned cute males.

4. Albuquerque is really hard to spell and is one hour from Santa Fe. Las Vegas is one hour further from there.

5. The food in SF is amazing - so is the tequila.

6. After delicious tequila - calling a limo company to take you to Vegas is an awesome idea. Especially when you discover that you are a complete moron and that Las Vegas, NEW MEXICO does not in fact have a branch of the Wynn, the Bellagio, the Venetian or the MGM Grande.

7. E loves skeletons (although they have a much fancier name).

8. Spending $40 on breakfast is totally worth it - especially when you have the most amazing hot chocolate known to man.

9. My future husband is going to need exactly $25,000 to afford the engagement ring I found this weekend.

10. SF is above 7000 feet. Altitude hangovers are the WORST. I highly recommend throwing up before bed. It helps.

11. 9 women who don't all know each other can successfully go on a long weekend together without drama. Who knew?

12. It is entirely possible for 80% of your body to change colors instantly with little to no explanation...




13. Dancing in altitude feels right. My ass just seemed to move better - I am sure it had nothing to do with the 86 vodka drinks.

14. Massages in SF are what I imagine Heaven will be like.

15. Late night smores = yum.

16. I could have shopped for another 8 days. I could have gone in all the shops twice and still wanted to go again. Although it is mostly not my style, I loved looking.

17. The shopping prizes that people went home with - a Santa, a globe, some skeletons. You guess who bought what.

18. I am so glad I don't have a mustache.

19. I am also glad that we did not find a tiger in the bathroom on Saturday morning as it was entirely possible.

20. The drive from Santa Fe back to Albuquerque is 18 hours long.

Best weekend of the year - I loved every minute of it!!
