Today marked the first official day of Albuquerque's annual Balloon Fiesta. Balloon pilots and hot air balloon enthusiasts will be taking over the town for the next two weeks. I was sucked into the balloon world when I was 16. My boyfriend was a privately licensed pilot, so most of my summers were filled with balloon related events in the midwest. Fast forward eighteen years and my current husband (yes, we were high school sweethearts) is a commercially licensed pilot who still loves ballooning. We moved west and are currently residing in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This time of year always makes me think of our first balloon fiesta together (in 2005) and our first fiesta as New Mexicans (in 2010), and my husband's first fiesta as a lead commercial pilot (in 2013). Enjoy!
