Santa Fe, New Mexico and El Paso, Texas
My husband and I went to Santa Fe and El Paso to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary. We drove for about 6 hours north to Santa Fe(http://www.santafe.org/). Santa Fe is such as romantic place! There is a good mixture of native American, hispanic, and anglo culture. The magnificent mountains and beautiful adobe houses (http://architecture.about.com/library/bl-adobe.htm) make the region so unique! We stayed a night in Hotel 6 (http://www.motel6.com/), a relatively inexpensive ($65) motel. Krispy Kreme (http://www.krispykreme.com/) donuts seem to be very popular here because you can get them in many local gas stations!
Next, we drove for about 6 hours south to El Paso(http://www.ci.el-paso.tx.us/), which is just a stone's throw away from Mexico. This place is rich with hispanic culture and there's 3 Baskin Robbins ice cream shops (http://www.baskinrobbins.com/index.shtml)! We stayed in Travelodge (http://www.travelodge.com/Travelodge/control/home), another budget motel for $45/night. We visited the Islamic Center of El Paso (http://www.icoep.com/) and bought some groceries at the local islamic store.
We drove for about 6 hours east to Lubbock, and I was so happy to be home to see my guinea pig, who was not pleased with being locked up in his cage for 3 days!
