One day Jackson and I were talking about taking a long weekend somewhere cooler that actually felt like fall and the next, we booked tickets to Chicago! A cold front hit the day we landed and we were completely unprepared. Our first stop after getting into the city was Ross to find a coat for Eliot (and me!).

Last year, my best friend and I happened to be pregnant at the same time. It was honestly the best, sharing in that season! We knew we had to convince the guys to let us do a double babymoon and we all agreed on Santa Fe! We had the best time. Santa Fe is a great babymoon destination because there’s honestly not a ton to do. No pressure to see tons of sites but instead, tons of great food and cultural options to make for a relaxing babymoon.

A couple weeks ago, we felt the travel bug and decided somewhat last minute to take a family vacation to Ruidoso! I have a more in depth blog post all about our trip (and how Covid affected it) here!

If you’re looking for some tips on a trip to Ruidoso, I’ve given you all of our favorite places to Eat, Hike and Play!

Our family, like I’m sure most of yours, has been feeling real cooped up lately.

With most of our typical “go-to” places closed because of Covid-19, we’ve spent most of our time since March at home, in our backyard or in my parents pool (praise God for that pool).
