Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta

One of my favorite things about living in Albuquerque NM is that every year in October we have one HUGE event... an event so big that people come from all over the world to participate and see it in person and being a local and having lived here my whole life I can tell you first hand that it never gets old. I look forward to it every year.... and was so very excited to take my daughter to her first ever balloon fiesta!!! So here are some pictures... I hope you enjoy!

So very cool! I love the cactus one. They have a balloon festival every year in Quechee, Vermont but I have never been able to make it. Seeing this makes me really want to try harder for next year!

I have wanted to go up in a hot air balloon forever. Maybe one day. I like the Tweety Bird one, but I would want my first ride to be in a traditional, striped balloon.

A tag? ok. Let's see how that goes. :)
Have a great week. Rosemary

I've always wanted to visit Alb. I've heard there are great art festivals there. We don't have much here in Omaha.

Great post, Tina
