Balloon Fiesta Recap

An amazing morning and an amazing sight, one to embrace and remember for years to come.  Truly an opportunity everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime… the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta.  Tens of thousands come from all over the world for this annual event and I had the privilege and honor to take our amazing group of 25.  We boarded our bus by 5:00 am and everyone, albeit a bit tired, was filled with anticipation to see hundreds of balloons take flight during mass ascension.  The weather was perfect, we could not have asked for a better day.  The sun began to rise above the spectacular scenery that surrounded us, it was a breathtaking moment.  Balloons of all shapes and sizes filled the clear blue sky as though it was a canvas and painted an awesome picture that will not be soon forgotten.  The field was filled with smiles on faces young and old alike, that too was a pleasure to see and embrace… there is something to be said about a festival that can bring together so many people all to enjoy one of life’s amazing moments!
