The best time is when being spontaneous comes over you and empowers
you to do the most random/amazing things and in this case it empowered
me to take a trip to New Mexico! A few of my friends and I took a
surprise road trip... final stop New Mexico we rented an SUV, rented a
hotel in Albuquerque and stayed in the small city for about 2 days. 15
hours later we arrived at hotel suite. The best way to travel on a road
trip is with good people, the best of music, practical jokes in mind and
positivity. I say practical jokes because laughter makes the time go by
faster and you need faster time when you're in an SUV with 5 people for
15 hours straight.
Day 1: day one was mostly spent
inside the car as I said before we drove for 15 hours to get to New
Mexico... Gasp! Once we settled into our hotel room we mustard up so
energy and headed into town. I have to say Nob Hill in Albuquerque is
one of the cutest towns I have ever visited. Reminded me of SF but with a
little more Mexican feel to it. Stop into a Buffalo Exchange just
before they closed, bought a couple hats a looked through tons of
vintage at amazing prices.
Day 2: We woke up at
ummmmm.... 5:30am got dressed ran downstairs for our complimentary
breakfast at then we hit the road to Roswell, New Mexico. After a 3 hour
drive we finally got to the town that was built after the 1947 UFO
crash. What can I say about this town other than... I was an automatic
awe about it. Everything was driven by Aliens. The McDonald's was shaped
as a UFO, the street lamps had the shaped eyes of an Alien, Alien
figures everywhere, boutiques selling nothing but Alien artifact ahhhh!
It was so much fun!
Day 3: it was time to go back home
but before home we made a last minute decision to head up to the Grand
Canyon. Now the Grand Canyon is unexplainable, you just have to make a
trip there and take it as your own.
I had the most #smashingbirthday ever!!!
