What do you really enjoy? History? Culture? Art? Outdoor adventures? Sports? Whatever is your idea of fun, you are bound to find it here in Albuquerque. May and June bring with them a long list of activities in and around the metropolitan area. The Isotopes, Albuquerque's AAA baseball team, is back in full "swing". It's warm enough to spend all morning at the Expo New Mexico Flea Market. The wine festivals are starting to come to "fruition", and, of course, Viva Cinco de Mayo! For a more detailed list of what's happening in Albuquerque, visit our Convention and Visitor's website at http://www.itsatrip.org/events/default.aspx.
My highlighted activity for this post is the Turquoise Trail. Here I will just be highlighting a few of the things to see and do along the Trail, but I recommend you visit their site for more! I love heading east on I-25 on one of our many beautiful spring days. Our first stop is always TinkerTown. I could actually spend the whole day here ~ I love this place. For almost 40 years, Ross Ward created and collected beautiful, interesting and unique works of folk art and curiosities, which are all on display in this rambling museum. It's a delightful trip that always leaves me thinking what MORE I can do in my own life.
Though there's more to do in the area, our guided tour today takes you next to the Mine Shaft Tavern for a bite to eat. After partaking of our my refreshment, I head over to The Old Coal Mine Museum. From side trips around the state I have learned to love the history of this area, and mining has played a large part in the development of the southwest. This is an outdoor museum, with lots to see, touch and explore. I always like to sit and imagine what life was like in those days. Definitely rougher than mine today, as I pop into my comfortable car and head to the next stop: Shona Sol.
I don't know much about Shona Sol, but I love going. Located outside, in a field next to a local artist's studio home, it's an arrangement of contemporary stone sculptures from Zimbabwe. There is a gallery of more stonework inside the studio. It's a wonderfully contemplative place to spend time. The official directions: 20 miles south of Santa Fe Plaza on N.M. 14 at Red Tail Rd. (505) 473-5611.
Next, if I'm feeling adventurous, is a stop at Broken Saddle Riding Company for a bit of high desert equestrian activity. If I don't have the time, maybe I just stop in to the What Not Shop for some serious browsing time (and buying!). (505) 471-2744.
There's a lot more available to you via the Turquoise Trail, not the least of which is a movie ranch where over 100 movies have been filmed! But today our tour ends here. I leave this tour today with and invitation for you to create your own adventure here in the Land of Enchantment.
But, what's happening here at the hotel? I'm so glad you asked! We still have our golf Stay and Play packages through September, and starting this month, we have our Big Splash Weekends! Stay any two consecutive nights over the weekend (Friday-Sunday evenings) and receive over 10% off our best available rate! This month bring our Family Memories weekend deal over Memorial Day. It's all the fun, rolled into one!
Whatever your reason for visiting Albuquerque, we look forward to serving you soon.
Wishing you a safe a prosperous journey until we meet,
