After being isolated at home for over a year due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, I finally embarked on that much needed vacation to visit and explore with my beloved family in the desert, forests, and mountains for excitement and good old bonding time. And as captured in the above photo gallery, not only did we enjoy some serious adventures, but we also had an absolute BLAST making it all happen. From hiking and biking in the Sandia Mountains, to testing our aim at the shooting range, to marveling at the picturesque Rio Rancho view complete with lizard and hummingbird life, to chowing down on the deliciously mouth-watering local cuisine (Italian AND Southwestern), we could NOT get enough of all the sweetness enjoyed with one another in that magical state called New Mexico.

Now the question remains: WHEN CAN WE DO ALL OF THIS AGAIN?
