WHY NEW MEXICO?

It started on a family trip with the Carltons. One visit was all it took – we fell in love with the stunning landscapes, easygoing spirit, and incredible New Mexican food. This place actually holds a sweet piece of family history: it's where Katie's parents, Lisa & Bob, shared their first kiss back in middle school (yep, really!). They've been coming back ever since, and now we get why.

Living in DC's constant buzz, we loved the idea of sharing Santa Fe's peaceful energy with our favorite people. It's a chance to slow down, enjoy the desert air, and just be present together. Plus, we figured some of you might have had New Mexico on your travel wishlist – consider this your perfect excuse to finally make that trip!

We've included some of our favorite spots below – from amazing restaurants to beautiful hikes, art galleries, and sacred sites. We're excited to share all the reasons we've fallen for the Land of Enchantment with you.

Pack your sunhat and get ready for an adventure. We can't wait to experience this magical place together!
