The second largest theatre district in the country just got a makeover and it’s dazzling. We had fun at the Marquee Moment’s celebration to see the lights turn on!

What do you think of the new signs? I like that they have changing color lights on them and they all have a unique look. Fun!

🔶One Day in Albuquerque Inspirations We squeez 🔶One Day in Albuquerque Inspirations

We squeezed a lot into one day, here are some highlights you’ll want to add to your future itinerary!

🥞 Breakfast: Central Grill @centralgrillabq 
This breakfast hot spot has some of the best pancakes I’ve had. Fluffy and delicious.

🌮 Lunch: Pueblo Indian Kitchen @pueblokitchen 
Try out an Indian taco to get a taste of fry bread and chiles (something you may be eating a lot of on your trip. Get it ‘Christmas’ style, a mix of red and green Chile.

🍜 Dinner: Ten3 @ten3tram 
Eat your final meal of the day 10,300 feet above Albuquerque. There is a casual dining spot and a formal dining spot (requires fancier clothing). Food was good and the views? Epic. 

🚡Do: Sandia Peak Tramway @sandia_peak_tramway 
Get breathtaking views of Albuquerque from above as you enjoy a 15-minute ride up 10,000+ feet up the Sandia Mountains. The sunset was incredible.

🗺️ Explore: Old Town @abqoldtown 
Enjoy the southwestern aesthetic as you browse many local and awesome shops. Find your perfect souvenir and enjoy the views. 

🔵 Shop: Breaking Bad Store @breakingbadstoreabq 
If you’re a fan of the show this is such a cool spot to visit! Don’t forget to head to the back where there’s a whole museum dedicated to Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul memorabilia.

✏️ Learn: Pueblo Indian Cultural Center @indianpueblo 
Learn all about the people of the land and how they lived, created, and beyond.

🛏️ Stay: Zazz Hotel @hotelzazz 
This adorable renovated motel has the quirkiest style. We loved getting popsicles from the hydration room, our adorable room, and the hotels style. The soaps in the bathroom smelled SO good and were locally sourced. Love that.

🍹Drinks: Lounge, a speakeasy inside Hotel Zazz
We checked out this fun space after a long day out and about. I had a mocktail that I’m still thinking about today called a Pink Flamingo. So. Good.

Hope that list helps inspire your future trip to Albuquerque! I hope we can get back to explore more soon. New Mexico is a gem.

🥾🍁 Fall Hike in Cleveland with Epic Views W 🥾🍁 Fall Hike in Cleveland with Epic Views

With the official start of fall this weekend and pops of fall color already popping up, it’s time to talk fall hikes 🍁🥾

Last Fall I checked out the newly opened Eatern Ledge Trail within the Euclid Creek Reservation, part of the @clevemetroparks 

This trail winds you through a fall forest along a flowing creek and takes you to a ledge overview 130 feet above Euclid Creek. 

I found it to be a easy to moderate trail due to the incline. The views were epic, especially when the sun is out creating intense shadows.

Tag a friend or send this to someone you’d love to hike this trail with! 

🥾1-mile out & back

🍁 Mixed terrain, paved parts of trail are accessible 

↗️ easy to moderate

🚘 Nearby parking, picnic area, and play area

📍Euclid Creek Reservation 44143
