Add some sizzle to your romance when the two of you take classes at the Santa Fe School of Cooking. There's nothing like taking on a project together, and both of you will learn how to create different types of meals (that include several Mexican dishes). You'll find that spending time together creating a delicious project that you both can enjoy when it's done will create special, romantic (and sometimes humorous) moments that you will never forget.
When a friend recommends a bar or restaurant, you tend to agree with them to a certain extent. But when a place gets high marks from an impressive source like International Newsweek magazine touting it as one of the world's best bars, you tend to pay even more attention. Santa Fe's Dragon Room is a nightlife destination that deserves all the kudos it has amassed, as the venue is both a stylish and comfortable place to relax and have a few drinks. The bar is also associated with the Pink Adobe restaurant and that team-up makes it the city's ultimate destination for dinner, wine and cocktails.
Santa Fe's highly appealing outdoor amenities are celebrated year-round at Hyde Memorial State Park. You'll find several excellent spots to enjoy a picnic or just relax as you toss the frisbee around with the kids and enjoy the scenery. There's also more fun to be had on the hiking trails that offer still another chance to get closer to the amazing natural beauty of the park. Camping is another attraction, as the park offers 350 acres of woods and meadows. Plus, the park is located just three miles south of the Santa Fe Ski area which makes it a great stop during ski season.
There are museums, and then there are "living museums" that the kids (and mom and dad) will surely find interesting. El Rancho de las Golondrinas is such a place. See attractions like original colonial buildings on this site that date back to the early 18th century as well as other buildings that have been reconstructed to reflect the style of that time period. The buildings and other items presented here tell the fascinating story of the early settlement of New Mexico. The museum is closed from November through March.
