Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta - check it off the bucket list!

We have always wanted to go to the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta and this was the year.  It was an amazing experience - so very hard to describe - you just have to see it for yourself.

This year there were 550 balloons flying.  We went to the Special Shapes Rodeo Friday morning and the Mass Ascension Saturday morning.  The only bad part was getting up at 4:30 am to get there.  We took the shuttle bus from west of town and it worked perfectly.  No traffic, no crowded parking.  The bus dropped us off right at the front gate.

No words - just fun pictures.
