New Mexico is a land filled with wonders – or enchantments if you’re so inclined. Four-year-old Sophie Roybal is a spirited little girl with a lot of energy and a love for adventure. Put those two elements together and you’ve got a wonderful combination that makes those moments of discovery we all tend to take for granted refreshingly new again.
Whether it’s massive popular events like the International Balloon Fiesta, visits to the Santa Rosa Blue Hole, or a cool family trip to Ski Santa Fe, the possibilities are endless. Combine those experiences with the natural splendor and beauty of our wonderful state, from turquoise skies to startlingly vivid sunsets, living deserts to teeming forests, and everything in between. Get out your maps and join little Sophie and her parents as they travel the byways and highways of New Mexico in search of pure excitement!
On Sophie’s road trips, you’ll also discover the best ways for you and your own family to enjoy the sights and sounds of New Mexico in a family-friendly way. What should you take along? What should you avoid? What’s the best way to get the most out of the experience with young children? What are the opportunities for learning, and the hidden gems for playtime? Some of the places Sophie visits may be familiar, some may not. Either way, you’re sure to enjoy Sophie’s fresh new perspective on the adventure, and in the process, maybe relive your own “first time” adventures.
So, pack up your sunscreen and snacks, get the kids ready, load up the family vehicle, and get out there to enjoy all the wonders New Mexico has to offer. The days of using your kids as an excuse not to get out of the house are over. Adventure awaits! It’s time for a family road trip, Sophie-style!
