Retired!

Chad has officially retired from Government service!  We took a nice trip back to the Bay Area for the party, as well as seeing friends, biking, and hiking in the fog.  Onward to more adventures :)

Skiing!

Last week, we took advantage of the recent storm and went skiing over near Los Alamos.  Gorgeous mountains!  In the top picture, we were looking into Valles Caldera.

2nd highest bridge

We drove out to Taos to get out and about, and (in addition to finding some fun books and art) took a detour to the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, supposedly the second-highest span in the country. It was suitably picturesque!

Christmas Boef

For Christmas dinner, we cooked a large, cheap beef rump in the home-made sous vide cooker for a rather long time (3 days!) and the results were pretty delicious. Loads of flavor, and nicely tender (I sliced it very thin.) Served with a fruity balsamic.
