We have a little tradition that involves ringing in the New Year in a new place. This year, we decided to stay very close to home, and hopped down to Taos, New Mexico for a short holiday break.
Since we were so close, we had to stop in Santa Fe to do our favorite New Mexico activity – eat delicious New Mexican food,
And drink delicious New Mexican margaritas.

Our first stop was Maria’s New Mexican Kitchen, where the food is good and the tequila selection and margarita menu is spectacular.
After checking into our hotel, we headed back out in search of the sunset.

Popping by the bright and colorful Santa Fe Plaza,

On our way to more food…Italian this time at Il Piatto.
A very yummy start to the end of the decade.
OM Gosh the food looks sooo delicious! I’m glad you guys had a good time. 😎🌴

It’s really mouth watering and your photography rocks as usual. I am a foodie and I love cocktails. Cakes are my favourite, chocolate is my life. Do you like Tandoori chicken? I don’t know what do you call it in the US..
