Honeymoon Phase

Hello gorgeous people!

Well it's official y'all me & Jeremy are married! As of May 6, 2023, I am a Mrs now!! 

Yay! Now we're honeymoon bound! When we were considering what we want to do and where we wanted to go, we knew we didn't want to spend a fortune, and with both of us only having a limited time off work we didn't want to travel too far. The Riverbend Hot Springs met all of our criteria. 

It was an easy commute from Albuquerque to Truth or Consequences the little town where the Riverbend Hot Springs are located, it was straight highway the whole way. With only about a 2 hour drive we made it on one tank in our Toyota Tacoma! 

Jeremy and I checked in with the front desk and they gave us water proof bracelets that also serve as access keys to our room and to the pools. The room was cute and comfortable with New Mexico local artist artwork displayed on the walls, it was cozy and clean, and a quiet and peaceful atmosphere throughout. The rooms are walking distance to the pools and the resort itself are the perfect distance from everything in town. 

  

The hot springs were the break from reality we both needed. Each pool ranges from different temperatures to satisfy your best needs and are composed of all natural mineral waters to give you essential healing benefits. You are surrounded by the beautiful sounds of nature, while soothing music whispers in the background, and the Rio Grande river gently flows beside you. Either bask in the sun during the day, or enjoy the stars above you at night while soaking in the pools - both are an absolute delight.

My mouth is watering remembering how delicious all this food was! The little diners Sunset Grill and Johnny B's were exactly what you'd imagine a small town would be, something mama used to make! I absolutely fell in LOVE with coffee from Mile Marker Seven, I wish we had something like it in Albuquerque but it just makes it more special when I get to visit TorC again. The brewery was the coolest, it felt like we were vibin' with old friends when we went and hung out there before we went and had dinner at Los Arcos! Wow, Los Arcos is fine dining you wouldn't expect for such a small town but it is top tier! The owner even chit chatted with the tables and was so kind. The food was spectacular, worth every penny! Lastly on our way out of town we had lunch at Tony's and we were not disappointed. I never had my tamales smothered before and I was sure missing out! Tony's also had the small town vibe to it and the small town hospitality. We will definitely be back to all of these places! 

Me and Jeremy couldn't have had a better honeymoon. We want to go back during the winter season! I would highly recommend a getaway here anytime of the year. 

I would love to say thank you to The Riverbend Hot Springs and the town of Truth or Consequences for welcoming us with open arms and the amazing experiences. 

XOXO,

Rian
