Indoor activities in Albuquerque, Rio Rancho and surrounding areas

The St. James Tearoom

January 4, 2018 by Michael Dunn

I’v heard of this place for many years and seen many pictures on social media but never tried it. I finally decided to check it out for myself! Connie!! She is a good friend and my right-hand woman in my Real Estate business! 2017 was a great year and I wanted to go somewhere with her and celebrate! We turned off our phones (besides taking the few pictures shown) and enjoyed a different dining experience than the usual. Hot tea, sandwiches, pastries, deserts and more!! They can accommodate parties of 2-all the way up to a few dozen people. The atmosphere was great! Obviously, its winter so the landscaping didn’t look to its full potential but I bet it’s probably beautiful later in the year! Shown are a few pictures we took but you must visit this place for the full experience! Next time we will have to use the hats, scarfs etc that are provided and dress up a bit!!

Design by Wine

March 4, 2014 by Michael Dunn

I must start out by saying that I had a great time at Design by Wine! I had seen pictures floating around all of the social media sites and finally decided to give it a shot! The Cozy studio in Los Ranchos De Albuquerque (The North Valley) has numerous events per week with different themes to choose from. Typical sessions are 2-3 hours long with the instructor guiding the group thru painting that night’s specific theme on a canvas that you get to take home. At the end of the night everyone in the group has the same painting with each having their own unique touches. They offer a wide variety of wines to purchase (reasonably priced!) and allow you to bring your own food or munchies to eat during the session. I highly recommend trying this out – it would be good for as a date-night or with a group of friends! For more information go to Design By Wine

Grossology Exhibit

January 28, 2014 by Michael Dunn

Danielle, Ashley, Haylei and I all decided to spend the afternoon at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science where they are currently featuring the Grossology exhibit. The Museum has a number of great permanent exhibits and is a fun way to spend the afternoon with your entire family or just your significant other. The Museum also has regularly changing exhibits that they bring in from across the country and sometimes the world! The current exhibit labeled “Grossology: The (impolite) science of the human body” certainly lived up to its name!! Games, quizzes, a rock wall and even a place to “sniff and guess what part of the body this came from”!! Go check it out!!
