The month of October has been and will be quite busy for us. Our home will be a revolving door with visitors! Our first visitor Jayne, came for Balloon Fiesta and luckily both times we went the weather was perfect! We had a great time visiting and as always time flew by. Here are some photos of her visit. Our next visitor comes in on Thursday . . .
I promised Jayne beautiful sunsets in our backyard and the sun gods did not disappoint!

| A very early toast for the balloons! |
Each morning during Balloon Fiesta there is what is called the mass ascension. Over 500 balloons fill the sky for what can only be described as amazing! This year we decided to try something a little different. We went to one of our favorite wineries for the mass ascension. They offered breakfast, mimosas and a beautiful view of the balloons. Two balloons actually landed right in front of us and were given a mimosa as well.

| No trip would be complete without a visit to Petroglyph National Monument! |

| The ride through the Jemez Mountains to another one of my favorites . . . the natural hot springs! |
 |
| High up on the Acama Pueblo . . . The City in the Sky! |

| The evening "glow" at Balloon Fiesta! The balloons stay tethered on the ground and fire up to make the glow! |
When we lived in Cary, we saw many balloons fly overhead, but it must be absolutely amazing to see 500 ascend at the same time. Beautiful pictures. I'm sure your friends enjoy seeing all your favorite spots and I can tell that you enjoy sharing them!
ReplyDeleteNo wonder you get so many visitors. Every photo just makes me want to jump on a plain and head out west.
ReplyDeleteThose balloons!! The photos are breathtaking, I can't even imagine what it looked like in real life! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat is on my bucket list, the balloon festival. You've only fed the desire even more! Fun to have guests, but tiring too.
