| River drove his car around the front of the San Miguel Mission, which was funny because he did the same thing when we visited the missions in San Antonio,TX last year. |

We spent the day wondering Downtown Santa Fe. It was fun walking the narrow side walk around the town, especially as we ate our french pastries we grabbed from The French Pastry Shop.YUM!! I am just sad they were out of bagettes by the time we got there. We visited 3 churches: The Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi; The Loretto Chapel with the miraculous staircase; and the San Miguel Mission, the oldest church in the US. We saw the oldest house in the US as well, which was next door to the mission.
We stopped at the highly recommended restaurant The Shed for lunch. We must have wore out the kids because River slept through lunch in the stroller. Skyler, with his magic touch, got Robin to finally fall asleep. Major props to him for eating his Green chili one handed, while holding a sleeping baby.
Ou last stop was my favorite. It was the one thing I wanted to do, experience drinking chocolate elixirs at Kakawa Chocolate House. I first read about them on this travel blog while I was researching for the trip. I was sold at "Drinking Chocolate". And it did not disappoint. When you sit down they have a artisan come and explain the different kinds of drinking chocolates they have and you get to try little shots of them before you order the one you like best. The recipes are based on and recreated from historical sources. The pre-Colombian America ones had chilis in them and packed some heat. The European based ones are more floral and sweet. That's the kind I ordered, The Marie Anotionette. Sky ordered a spicy Chai chocolate. River ordered the salted carmel ice cream and it was a hit! Him and Skyler downed the whole thing. Overall it was a really fun experience and the Staff was so great!
