The drive to Albuquerque from Santa Fe was a short one, and we arrived at Ruth and Lou’s house. We had a quick visit before leaving to check into our hotel. Their dogs seemed to be glad to see us as well, and it’s always fun to see how much they are loved. We left the RV at their house and headed to the hotel.
When we checked into the Hotel Albuquerque, we were upgraded to a junior suite. That was a nice treat, especially since we were there for five nights.
Ruth and Lou love to go out for breakfast, so we joined them on several mornings. The four of us got together for dinner on Christmas Eve. We went to Trombino’s for a wonderful Italian meal. I had the shrimp scampi, and Tim had the lasagna, with enough leftovers for dinner the next night!
Christmas day was quiet, and Tim and I went next door for a fabulous brunch at Level 5 at Chaco Hotel. My “New Mexico Lavender and Honey Ricotta Filled Crepes with Mixed Berries and Lemon Curd” was fabulous, and Tim also enjoyed his steel cut oats.
After brunch, Tim drove me through some of his favorite areas in Albuquerque. We checked out the Balloon Fiesta Park, and I got to see the house where Tim lived during his time in Albuquerque.
Ruth and Lou picked us up for brunch on Sunday, and we had another great visit. They are such wonderful and giving people and take care of so many friends and relatives.
In the evening, we walked over to Old Town Albuquerque and admired the Christmas lights around the plaza.
