Field Trip Number TWO!

Today, we went on an amazing field trip.  We woke up early, 6 AM, and rode the Railrunner to Santa Fe.  It took us one and a half hours to get to Santa Fe on the Railrunner.  We laughed and looked out the window at all the scenery.  There are so many parts of New Mexico that I have not ever seen.  

We arrived in Santa Fe around 9 AM.  We then walked to the famous Loretto Chapel that houses the Miraculous Stair Case.  It was built by an unknown man and for over a hundred years it stood without any support.  It was such a cool site.  The chapel itself is extremely ornate.

 After we toured the chapel we headed over to the New Mexico Museum of Art.  The boys spent most of their time drawing rather than looking at the art.  It was pretty interesting to see different types of art on display.

The boys were getting kind of restless and I figured after a little walk over to the Georgia O'keefe museum they would calm down, but they didn't.  The Georgia O'keefe museum was not that interesting.  We spent maybe 20 minutes in the museum before we left for lunch.  

 Lunch was at The Burger Stand.  It was a good choice.  The boys got milk shakes and I had a healthy salad.  My parents tried the burgers and said they were great. 

My favorite part of the trip was riding the train and seeing the miraculous stair case.  We were all so tied we actually took naps on the train ride home.  That was the best part!!
