It's that time again...time for the freakin' weekend! Is time going by super quickly for anyone else? I feel like I blinked on Monday and the week was gone. ⏰

Quarantine has got me thinking about how much I've overlooked domestic travel. There are SO many amazing destinations in the US that I still haven't visited! I wouldn't be surprised if, once travel is safe again, there will be a big wave of travelers exploring their own backyard for a while. 

So I've spent the last week dreaming up an ideal USA itinerary, starting with New Mexico. Because who doesn't love sunsets, margaritas, and the open road? Oh, and aliens, of course. 👽
