Optional - drop in for whatever sounds fun!
Morning Hike: Tesuque Creek
11 a.m.
Tesuque Creek/Winsor Trailhead
Attire: Trail shoes and your favorite graphic tee
This trail is special to us - it's where Sara proposed! Lined with cottonwood trees and wildflowers, the Tesuque Creek/Winsor Trail is an out-and-back trail that starts right off Big Tesuque Canyon Road.
Evening Opera: Madama Butterfly
8 p.m. (come early and tailgate with us!)
Santa Fe Opera
Attire: Western / Japonais Chic
Join us for the final performance of the opera season, Puccini's Madama Butterfly! Willis's grandparents Joan and Fred, masters of tradition, gathered the entire Hart family at the Santa Fe Opera every year, with dinner at Bishop's Lodge beforehand.
Madama Butterfly is a story of migration, love, and resilience, and was a favorite of Sara's grandmother or Nai Nai Betty. The Santa Fe Opera is one of the most renowned opera companies in the world—its stunning open-air amphitheater offers views of the sunset over the Jemez Mountains. We would love to close out the weekend together at this magical place!
