Albuquerque, NM | Travel Guide

Brett and I recently traveled to Albuquerque (in April), so I thought I'd put together a little travel guide of my favorite places. Especially because I think most people visit during the hot air balloon festival, and we felt like Albuquerque had a lot to offer besides their hot air balloons. 

This is at our Air BnB! If the weather hadn't have been so cold the backyard would have been SO perfect to have my morning coffee in!

Mandatory Must Do list: 

Rebel Donut. For Inventive flavors. We love when donuts get weird, do you?

Hotel Albuquerque. Have you ever been to a hotel and just pretended to be a guest there? I'll admit I LOVE doing this. Usually fancy hotels have a cafe, so I'll order something from the cafe and plop down on a comfy couch or outside table. Sometimes it's nice to dress up all fancy and get drinks at the bar for a fun date night. Seriously though, are we the only people that do this?

If You Have Time and the weather is nice list: 

What we'd do if we went back: 

Drive through this neighborhood again, because all the lawn art was VERY New Mexico. 

Hike. It was SO cold when we were there and Brett was in conference workshops all day, but if you have time, you should definitely go enjoy the outdoors. 

The Balloon Festival. Duh. 

Things we wouldn't do again:
