Summertime in Santa Fe, 2025

On Monday, Jae will begin sixth-grade at Murchison middle school. Liam is starting another year of high-school at Magellan. Its been a summer filled with work, travel, community service, swim lessons, day camps, visits with friends and family, bassoon practice, and a family road trip to Santa Fe.

This stay, we had a very good spot on Don Diego — easy walks to Maria’s, Paper Dosa, and El Chile Toreado.

Our first couple of days in town were a bit rough. Jae was feeling terrible at the beginning of our visit, and LisaDiane and I spent half a day with him at urgent care. The doctor was spectacular – she was very busy, very direct, and was a very good listener – she provided comfort and proscribed meds and rest. We all took it easy for an extra day and Jae recovered quickly.

Liam was our DM for an adventurous afternoon of DND, and we visited with Alissa at Kakáwa Chocolate House. We ate apricots off the tree at Tune-Up Cafe, and enjoyed a days at Meow Wolf and the Randal Davey Audubon Sanctuary. We had brunch at Santa Fe Teahouse and Dolina, and we went out for pizza at Upper Crust,

Lee, B, Liam, and I spent an afternoon at Big Adventure Comics, had magic coffee at CrashMurderBusiness, and were invited for an impromptu tour of a new installation at Cara Romero Photography.

LisaDiane, Lee, B, and I celebrated B’s birthday with a lovely day at Ten Thousand Waves, and dinner at Izanami. The onsen is a very special place, and it was a delight to take the short garden walk to to enjoy a spectacular meal.
