We had a Ruidoso first this weekend.

Just the four of us went!

Every time we have ever gone before it has been with Pop and Gammies and your cousins in July.

We left early on Saturday at 8 AM and got back to town on Sunday around 6:00 PM.

When we got to Ruidoso, we ate a late lunch at Cafe Rio, walked downtown on both sides of the street, checked into the MCM Elegante, had an early dinner at Lincoln County Grill, and then swam in the indoor pool until bedtime.

We made a fire and stayed up late watching cartoons.

Sunday we stopped by the downstairs breakfast bar for you kiddos, ate breakfast at Lincoln County Grill, and the went back to the hotel to swim until it was time to check out at noon.

We at lunch at Casa Blanca and poured everyone into the car exhausted.

Random note that the MCM Elegante’s indoor pool is salt water. The water felt less processed, if that is even possible. And I just wanted to get lost in the accompanying hot tub.

It was a quick but relaxing getaway at just the right time.

Can we go back soon?

I love you.
