After a long stretch of working 6-day weeks, dealing with several bouts of winter weather, and training the newest member of our weather team, it was finally time for Amanda, Olivia, and me to go on a mini vacation. The nice thing about living in Amarillo is its relatively-close proximity to the mountains of northern New Mexico. Taos is the name of a town in northern New Mexico that most people have heard of, but there is a small town farther up into the mountains that may be lesser know but is just perfect for a little get-away like this.
The town you see above is called Red River and it was where we called home for three days. We stayed at the Lazy Miner Lodge...which is managed by my boss's parents, so they gave us a great deal and set us up in a room that had a well-stocked kitchenette. That was crucial for taking care of Olivia while we were there. Shortly after arriving, Olivia crawled out of the room, headed right for the first snow pile she could find, and decided to taste snow for the first time.
Richard (my boss's dad) also feeds a small group of deer that come by the lodge, so Olivia got the chance to see some of the deer up close and personal.
The ski lodge had day care, so we put Olivia in with the other kids while Amanda and I got some quality snowboarding and skiing time in (I just went snowboarding, Amanda did a little of both). Here are some pictures of the fun and relaxation culminating with a nice, new family picture with the wonderful winter scene as a backdrop.
