Grandparents Day in Santa Fe

We drove from Provo to Santa Fe on Sunday, 20 November, arriving a couple of days before Grandparents Day at Santa Fe Prep where Lucy, Tucker, and Anders go to school.  The school is beyond impressive with wonderful facilities, great faculty, and very fine students. November 22, the day of the school visist, also happened to be Lucy Jane's 17th birthday. So that evening we had dinner at Tomasitas, a Mexican restaurant next to the train station. Back at home, we finished the celebration with brownies and ice cream. Wednesday, Anna took me and Anders on a hike through the piñones above Santa Fe during a break between cooking sessions.
