Continuing our countdown of my dream family vacations, we hit #3 on the list…

Albuqurque for the Balloon Fiesta

This is another thing my parents have done numerous times, but I’ve never seen first hand.

Can you imagine being there as hundreds of hot air balloons in all shapes and sizes and colors take off into the air? It fills me with wonder just imagining it.

I mean, sure, I’ve heard wonderful things about Alburqurque in general and it’s a beautiful area and there’s plenty I’d like to see there…

but the BALLOONS!!

Yes, I know…I’m waxing poetic over hot air balloons, but they’ve always fascinated me and captured my imagination. It’s not for nothing that a hot air balloon ride is on my bucket list.

I would just LOVE to see this, and share it with my kids.  This happens every year around my wedding anniversary – so maybe one day we’ll get to go for our anniversary. That would be awesome.

Have you ever been to the Balloon Fiesta? What was your favorite part?
