If we like it, may take husband so I can do Los Alamos. Sister would have no interest in that.

In Albuquerque, no. Although New Mexican food is different enough from other Mexican food that anyplace you go will seen exotic. Tomasitas is good food, not much atmosphere. El pinto is better atmosphere, food not as good. I like the burgers at the Monte Carlo steakhouse, but places with a package store in front are probably not what you are after
In Santa Fe, Clafoutis is a very nice breakfast (French, with of course very nice bread and pastries) . Go as early as possible. Zia 356 meets there for breakfast a couple times a year.
If you don’t mind driving, and it’s a very interesting and pretty drive, Rancho de Chimayo is very good food, and good atmosphere.
I don’t do spas, but my girls both like 10,000 waves, and Ojo Caliente
If you are looking for outdoors, you really can’t beat Bandelier national monument. It makes a very nice loop from Albuquerque, to San ysidro, to Jemez, to Los alamos, bandelier, then down the hill back to Santa Fe, and abq . Some very good Porsche roads!
