Have I mentioned that I am from California? One thing about California is that you can drive for 6, 7, 8, 9 hours and still be in California. I love how New Mexico seems so bite-sized by comparison. Any time I hear about anything fun happening in New Mexico, I know that I can investigate it firsthand within a matter of hours. Which is part of the reason that I love the New Mexico Vacation Guide provided by the New Mexico Tourism Department. It has 191 pages of things to do in New Mexico, from the various National Parks and Pueblos to the various festivals and events.
Best of all, it’s free. You can just go online and order one, and it will arrive at your house shortly afterward.

You are not limited to ordering one only for yourself, however. Follow my lead and order one for all your out-of-state cronies, as a not-so-subtle indication that you want them to visit. The pictures are beautiful, the guide is thorough, and it makes our state look fabulous and vacation-worthy… which it is.
