Things to do in Santa Fe:
Settle on a park bench on the Plaza and people-watch.
Shop for Native American crafts and jewelry -- many vendors sell their wares around the Plaza.
Stroll along Canyon Road and visit the many galleries.
Sample some of Santa Fe's more than 200 restaurants. For Southwestern fare, try Coyote Café, Café Pasqual's, and the Blue Corn Café.
Visit the Loretto Chapel (now a private museum) and draw your own conclusions about its "miraculous" winding staircase said to have been built by a mysterious stranger without nails or support beams.
Soak up the soothing waters of Ten Thousand Waves, a Japanese-style hot tub/spa club with public and private areas. 
In the summer, pack a picnic dinner and head to the Santa Fe opera for a night of music under the stars.
In the winter, bring your skis and hit the Santa Fe ski basin.
See the "Oldest House" -- claimed to be the oldest house in the United States.
Try your hand at Southwestern cuisine -- take a cooking class at the Santa Fe School of Cooking. In the area:
Take a day trip north to Taos (about 50 miles from Santa Fe) and visit the spectacular Taos Pueblo, continuously inhabited for 1,000 years. The grave of author D.H. Lawrence, a contemporary of O'Keeffe, is about 15 miles north of town.
Visit San Ildefonso Pueblo and see the museum's collection of the black-on-black pottery Maria Martinez made famous in the early 1900s.
See Anasazi cave and cliff dwellings at Bandelier National Monument (about 45 miles west of Santa Fe).
Drive up to Chimayo, a small town about 30 miles north of Santa Fe known for its traditional weaving and a sanctuary called the "Lourdes of the Southwest" for its faith healing reputation.
