Final Approach
I finally got around to putting some photos online (5 months later...). This was an amazing sight to behold! I believe there were around 700 balloons this time around. ABQ has great wind currents for ballooning - the balloons tend to follow a "box" shape so you get to see them more than once - they just come back around again.
They had some pretty inventive balloons. One balloon that had me jumping all over the place was the Brandenburg Gate (can you believe it?). I saw it slowly inflating, far away, from the side and the horses were the first thing to pop up. Needless to say I recognized it immediately - that may have been one of the most unique balloons there.
You must must must see this once in your life. The photos make it appear as if God just threw a bunch of colors in the air and then they wafted around. I give this a thumbs up for taking your kids, too - my brother's little boy is the age where it'd be a hoot to watch him watching this, and my little niece is now just one so she'd enjoy it but not quite as much.
Enjoy!
