On Saturday we took the Rail Runner up to Santa Fe again, a trip that we find both fun and relaxing--fun because we get to do cool Santa Fe things and relaxing because we don't have to drive in Santa Fe, one of the worst cities for cars in the nation. Here are some photographic highlights from the trip.

First, Allyson at the ABQ station:
Next, Isaac waiting to board the train:Here the older kids pass the time on the way north:
The main attraction of the trip was the New Mexico Museum of Art, where a spunky docent took us on a brief tour. We ended at the courtyard, where Summer took a few pictures:
Outside we found plaques commemorating famous artists who have been part of the Santa Few milieu, including on Willa Cather, which made Allyson excited, since she's read Death Comes for the Archbishop: And finally, outside the door to the museum's St. Francis chapel, the kids enjoy the early-Spring wind (walking back to the trains station, the wind was much less enjoyable):
Summer and I have a getaway planned for mid-May, and we're looking at taking the train to Sana Fe for one day for the two of us. That promises to be loads of fun as well.
