Our Favorite Places in New Mexico

I got southwestern-colored nails AND cactus stamps on the green thumbs! It was so fun. Ian also was into wearing matching outfits which is hilarious and it feels like we’re trolling the world. I don’t care what anyone thinks.

When I found out you could sled on sand, I HAD to try! Someday, I’ll snowboard on sand as well.

Watch Ian’s Youtube video about sledding at White Sands. It’s a little mushy because he made it for us first. We had such a fun time.

You see there are treasures to discover in this gorgeous desert climate! Also, it’s pretty affordable to live there compared to other states.
