When it came time for bride-to-be Caroline to celebrate her final fling, she knew Santa Fe was the spot for her. Not only was it a quick and affordable flight from Texas, where most of the group lived, Caroline had never been and was dying to check it out. The perfect place to enjoy mouth-watering southwestern cuisine, charming boutiques, outstanding art galleries and of course, the outdoors, Santa Fe should not be overlooked as a bachelorette party destination!
