Where in the world did Blanche and Lucy go this year ?

Blanche and Lucy visited the most wonderful event of the year...the Albuquerque, New Mexico Hot Air Balloon Fiesta - Oct 1st through Oct 10th this year - 2010... total Eye Candy for all...

Inside the Balloons

Watching the balloons go from a piece of material on the ground to an air-born sculpture was wonderful.

A day of Perfect Assensions

Here's a collection of some of my favorite Balloon Assensions.

All the Comforts of Home

Even though we did not have hot water hookups - they provided trailers with wonderful sanitary showers for us (for a price) anytime we wanted - I did cave and took advantage of them once - Bird Bath cleaning just didn't cut it by the 3rd day.

Fireworks at the Balloon fiesta were the Best!

Every evening after the Night Glow - they had Fireworks - which were amazing.

Evening Night Glow

Every evening at sunset they had "Night Glow" where they would blow up the balloons and light the fire into the balloons to make them glow - all set to music.

Lots of time to be silly

After a few days of sleep deprivation we were more than silly

Pre-Dawn Patrol

Most mornings we were up at 4am to watch the Dawn Patrol take off and begin to light up the sky.
