“Up, up and awaaaaaayy…in my beautiful balloon…”

I’m headed west again to a “lofty” event; The Albuquerque, New Mexico Balloon Fiesta. I’m going with my brother and big sister. My sister is a HUGE hot air balloon fan and it’s always been on her bucket list. We’ve been talking about doing this trip ever since I decided to retire. So this year, we’re going. The three of us are great traveling companions. As I’ve discussed before, traveling is in our blood.

There are several things to do there besides watching balloons. We’re hoping to take ride in one. Also, there’s chainsaw sculpture demonstrations, music concerts, art shows, and exhibits about ballooning. And, oh yeah, casinos.

We’re driving out, so my next post will be in a few days.
