Day two of PrincessCon SW kicked off with a great decision...breakfast.  Hana took us over to this diner sort of place which smelled delicious no matter what we ordered.  Even the coffee, and I am not a huge fan of coffee, but whatever they had in it made it smell of joy, as Terry might say.  Terry and I also had a breakfast brainwave since we couldn't decide if we wanted something sweet or savory, but as luck would have it, we were both torn between the same two items, so we ordered both and split them.  Best Hash Browns EVER.  Then it was back to glorious downtown Santa Fe for sightseeing and window shopping, and further photographic goofiness.  We went to the Santa Fe cathedral which was neat.  I walked the entire length of the labyrinth as fast as I could, and when I got to the end, I took the short cut out, aka walking across the pavement instead of just following.  I think the meditating on God and life and all that is in the world while walking the labyrinth probably works better when your friends aren't waiting for you to get a move on.

After our parking meter ran out, we headed back to the house to make ourselves a nice tea to snack on while we worked on crafts, because it was Princess Craft Time, after all.  First up, dumping glitter all over the sleeves of our princess t-shirts to make cool designs.  We each had a different design and color assigned: Heather had a blue snowflake/stained glass window design, Terry's was a red "dragon flower", Hana's was a pretty golden pinwheel design, and mine was a green Celtic-type knot.  There was plenty of swearing and shenanigans as always with any of our craft projects, but we set them up nicely and left them to dry outside on the porch while we continued with project #2, sparkly Princess goblets.  Why?  Well, we can't drink out of our hip flasks all the time, that would just be silly.  It fascinates all of us how we can take almost the exact same materials and do completely different things with what we have.  They turned quite super.  We then were pleasantly surprised at how epic our t-shirts turned out.  I mean it, they looked so cool.  We all agreed that we needed to do something else with those designs (even if they were still covered in glitter).

Then we sat and admired our handiwork, snacked, and went up to the roof to look at the stars.  That was pretty neat, though we could've used something softer to lie on, and it did get a bit chilly.  We gave Hana plenty of suggestions for her parents to do, and I'm actually contemplating getting a rooftop patio someday for myself, though I haven't a clue how to get there.  Visit Hana's parents probably.  When we finally got too cold  and the roof was too uncomfortable to lie on, we FIRST set up the hot tub, and SECOND put on our swimsuits and went out to soak.

It was not a very hardcore day, but the walking around Santa Fe, the making of tea snacks, and the crafting of awesome mementos does take it out of you.  Yay for hot tubs under the starlight with royalty who also happen to be wonderful friends.
