If you can't get all the way to Taos - you might try to go part way at stop at Chuyamo - where my mother appreciated us bringing her some of the "holy dirt".
Now I am not particularly religuous - but it felt like a special place and was fun to explore. http://chimayo.us/

You used to live here, right? Some things about Santa Fe just don't change much - museums, shopping, etc.
The NM History Museum has expanded and has some nice exhibits. There are the museums up at Museum Hill, though I haven't visited them in a few years. There is the Art Museum downtown, and the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum a few blocks away.
Shidoni Foundry in Tesuque is pretty neat - they do bronze sculpture pours on Saturdays.

LeAnn. When I lived there, it was in Los Alamos, and we came to SF often. I remember the Georgia Okeefee museum, don't remember the city museum, etc., but it was a totally different place, plaza was quiet and there was a Kress (I think) where I often bought kids underwear, a few nice dress shops and lots of sleepy people relaxing in the square . The cathedral was spectacular, back streets sort of dust and not much if you walked six blocks in any direction ..One of my babies, who never grew up, is buried in the Santa Fe cemetary, and they took such poor care of the cemetary that over the years, we can't even find his grave, which tears me in a big wAY. Still I take flowers there when I am in town and remember him for the bright spirit he might have been.
We ate at the Shed, renowned, even then, for it's blue corn tortillas. Don't remember that there was a Tomasitas, but we did eat there last year when we were in town and I don't remember being overwhelmed...maybe just a bad choice on the menu.
Anyway, we will be there soon.
