This year we decided to check out Santa Fe for our daughter's Spring Break (her idea). We've visited once before a few years ago and wanted another look. Made a 4-day holiday out of last weekend and took Amtrak from Kansas City to Lamy (closest train depot).
The main purpose of the trip is a family short vacation with a full schedule of things to do. I usually like a loose schedule with a few anchor events, but when time is short ya gotta keep moving. So, travel journaling had to take back seat and I sketched when I could work it in. Luckily I still managed to get most sketching done on the trip. The writing and maps followed when I got home.
That's it for this trip. Don't know if my travel sketch process will stay the same forever, but it works for now.

I love these pages of yours john, I love seeing all that writing accompanying your drawings!
Great pages, John? Are you a railroad buff? I live with one, a real one!
You sketch the most wonderful pages. It sounds like you had a very full, fun time.
What a wonderful description of a wonderful time! It brought back many fine memories for me. My parents retired to NM, and I've been there many times. I love Santa Fe - Taos is another favorite of mine. Thanks for the lovely trip! nancy
Sounds like you had a good time (except for the melted truffles - but at least you ate them anyway!). Glad you got in a bit of sketching. I want to see Jessica's store someday too.
Awesome journal pages. Good work.
I wish I had done a better job on my last vacation! You've done an excellent job and you'll be able to look back at these and remember everything like it was yesterday! Wonderful pages!
I really enjoyed the trip with you folks--and got a chance to use my new find at Marshalls of a beautiful cut glass heavy handled magnifying glass---I didn't miss a thing!
The truffles price made them Truffle Expensive Treasure Treats..
