a ruidoso rendezvous, part 1

adam and i took a short 'lil getaway to ruidoso, new mexico.
we drove there. not typically a huge fan of a long road trip but at least we got to our destination in a day! here was our little cabin in the woods.

we made it in time for a yummy dinner at a restaurant called landlocked.

the next day we starting our sightseeing.

we ate at a not-to-be-missed cafe called the village buttery.


i had quiche with green chile sauce which seemed very southwestern (that's why i picked it!).

we went to lincoln, new mexico. lincoln has been restored to what it looked like in the mid to late 1800s.

a 'lil church in lincoln.





this is an adobe house that a couple built and lived in during the early 1900s. it's amazing to me how the way people lived/live is so diverse! i think about the buildings that were built in europe hundreds of years before this adobe house. according to the lincoln museum, half of the world's population lives in a house built similar to the above home now! wow. not that's perspective.

that night, we went to a "pretend" old time, western town to see a fun western musical group.

it was so neat to go to this place because i had first seen the flying j wrangers when i was a little kid. it was just like i remember it being!

the group has been around for over thirty years. in a world full of changes, it's nice to know some things haven't changed.
