Surrounded by ponderosa pine forests, aspen groves, and rugged mountains, including Hermits Peak, Pendaries is a gateway to the adjacent Pecos Wilderness and the Santa Fe National Forest. Tucked away on a county road, it's a relaxing place to decompress for a few days.

The Jemez is one of my favorite day trips. From Corrales, it doesn't take long to get there. The area is visually stunning. The landscape changes dramatically every 10-15 minutes and there are an impressive assortment of things to see and do, depending on interests and time available. 😊

Sometimes the best weekend escape is just a short trip away. 🌿

Spent the day exploring Mölln - from quiet lakeside views and local wildlife to historic brick streets and hidden doorways. A quiet reminder that slowing down is always worth the detour.

What's your favorite small town to recharge in? ⛵

Palácio Nacional da Ajuda somehow wasn't crowded even at peak tourist season, and if you have kids, guided tours are sometimes led by a woman in an enormous pink ball gown playing a princess. Pair it with the nearly-empty 18E tram line, Lisbon's quieter alternative to the 28E.

At 11,973 feet above sea level, Sierra Blanca is the tallest peak in the Sacramento Mountains, with spectacular views of the lower peaks and the Tularosa Basin. From the peak you can see where the black lava flows of Valley of Fire stops right before the dunes of White Sands begins. Stark contrast.

Most of the Sacramento Mountains are limestone. Sierra Blanca is the sole volcano.

Cerrillos, Spanish for "the little hills," was known for mining before Europeans arrived. In fact, Cerrillos has the longest historically intact record of pick and shovel mining in the Southwest. Humans settled in this area as early as 500 A.D. Puebloans discovered gold, lead and turquoise deposits.

We have had a fabulous day today in Yarrawonga & Mulwala with my NZ friend. We visited all 4 op shops & had lunch at a lovely little cafe. Also did a lot of walking along the lakeside on the Mulwala side. I estimate I spent about $40 all up & came home with a pair of jeans, 3 lovely tops, some brand new Natio toiletries still in their boxes & a beautiful Maxwell & Williams mug from the Gardeners collection also still in its box with the tag attached & a gorgeous purple ceramic pie dish with fluted edges. Great scores & all useful to me. #OpShopping #Yarrawonga #DayTrip

Good morning tooting friends. A not bad 6c when I got up & heading to a credible 14c. Still a little damp & dreary outside but there are glimpses of blue so hopefully it’ll turn out to be a lovely day.
It will probably be lovely anyway no matter the weather. We’re just waiting for our washing to finish & then are heading to Yarrawonga for the day, I did this trip not long ago but my NZ friend hasn’t been there in many years & has asked if we can do that today, so that’s will be our day.
Wishing everyone a wonderful #Tuesday, stay warm out there & enjoy whatever you’re doing. #Weather #HouseSit #PetSit #DayTrip.

Aztec Ruins National Monument preserves a 900-year-old Ancestral Puebloan settlement. Located along the Animas River, roughly midway between Chaco Canyon and Mesa Verde, the community served as a major ceremonial, economic, and political hub from about 1050 to 1300 AD.

I was thrilled to discover Phipps Conservatory now has a "Panama" Room, as I lived in that beautiful country during student teaching, fifty-one years ago. Thanks, Phipps, for the great memories. #phipps #phippsconservatory #phippsconservatoryandbotanicalgardens #conservatory #conservatories #garden #gardens #pennsylvaniagarden #pennsylvaniagardens #pittsburgh #sightseeing #siteseeing #sightseeinginpittsburgh #city #citylife #cityvisit #daytrip #roadtrip #cartrip #travelbycar #vacation

Nestled along historic Route 66, Gallup is known alternately as the "Heart of Indian Country" and/or the "Adventure Capital of New Mexico." Located on the edge of the Navajo Nation, it is the most populous city between Flagstaff and Albuquerque. It was the departure point for the historic Navajo Code Talkers during World War 2.
