This morning, we went to Carol La Roche Gallery to purchase Adam's birthday present, a print of her iconic red wolves. We stopped for cold chocolate chai and iced green tea at The Tea House and then ate our picnic lunch at the casita where it was nice and cool.
Afterward, we walked to the plaza, where SOFA West was held and we walked around the show looking at sculpture, objects, and functional art (s-o-f-a) for a couple hours before taking another break. We spent the rest of the afternoon at SITE Santa Fe, looking at their biennial exhibit featuring animation from as early as the 1900s.
And then it was off to Kakawa chocolate for a hot spiced elixir and a mesquite and barley flour brownie. This was basically eating dessert before dinner because only an hour later, we were at Vinaigrette, a new Santa Fe restaurant that features hearty, dinner salads. This was seriously the perfect place to bring Adam and we toasted his birthday and our eleven years together over dry bubbly wine and deep purple sangria.
A very happy birthday indeed.

Your trip seems that it was well enjoyed. I am glad you were able to have a memorable birthday for Adam. We are sorry that you couldn't have been home for #30. That said, we will have a good celebration this weekend. See you both soon.....
