For those of you who don't know, for as long as I can remember, my family has made yearly trips up to angel fire. We don't snowboard or ski, but we do fish and know how to play some mean games of Texas Hold 'Em. Here are the accounts for our little retreat.
After a night of no sleep due to the wind, we woke up at about 4:30 and were out of Albuquerque by 5:45. Stopping at McDonalds for some breakfast we were all crammed into Kale’s truck with us kids in the back. We made amazing time and got into Angel Fire before 10 after dad having to white knuckle it through the canyon. Little did we know that we wouldn’t reach the cabin for still another hour. We tried to follow the directions, but ended up at a dead end and had to back out and got stuck in about two feet of snow. Praise God for there being a sporadic bar of service and we were able to call a guy who came and rescued us and pulled us out and then we were able to follow him up to the cabin. The cabin was absolutely awesome! It’s got the first floor which has a mud room and kind of a rec/bed room, the second floor has the kitchen, living room, and main bedroom, and then the third floor has a little loft seating area and two bedrooms and a little loft you get to from one of the bedrooms. We settled in and had tuna sandwiches for lunch and then we all just seriously collapsed while the snow was falling, fire was cracking, and music was playing. We had clam chowder in bread bowls and it was fantastic! We had brownie sundaes and then Keelan, mom, and I played some spades and headed off to bed.
