This weekend was Chris' turn for our surprise date. Because of Chris' workload, it wasn't really a suprise since I made most of the plans. We bought tickets to the Roots and Boots concert in Ruidoso, New Mexico on Saturday night. This concert consisted of Aaron Tippin, Sammy Kershaw and Joe Diffie. After calling around for four hours, I finally found a cabin that would take us and the dogs for just one night. Little did I know that this past weekend was also Aspenfest, meaning Ruidoso was extra crazy. Ruidoso is a little over two hours from our house, but it seems like a different world. Nestled in the mountains, the weather is cooler and the air is cleaner. People are more friendly and the atmosphere is much more relaxed. We stayed in a little cabin at Rainbow Creek. It wasn't much, but it was perfect for us. The dogs didn't behave too poorly. Looking back though, we definitely should have left them at home. Chris won pretty big on the slot machines and we had a really nice early dinner at Grace O'Malley's in town. The concert was awesome. They all sung some of their biggest hits, and did a lot of bantering back and forth. The crowd was pretty packed, although the venue left a little to be desired (just banquet chairs crammed in side by side). Afterwards, we headed back to the cabin and drank some wine and smoked a cigar on our little patio. That was probably the best night of sleep I've had in a long time. The weather was really cool and even a little overcast. I definitely could have stayed a lot longer. We will be making the trip back up there soon!
