~ Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta

Jonathan and I met in Albuquerque almost 16 years ago, and celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary in July. We lived there for the first 5 years of our marriage and hadn't been back for 10 years, until now. We took the kids with us and had a great time. The kids loved the hundreds of hot air balloons and we couldn't get enough of all the wonderful New Mexican cuisine. Green chiles in everything! Here are some of the photos we took from the Balloon Fiesta...

Dawn Patrol *early* the next morning

apparently the traffic has gotten worse since we were last here 10 years ago!

high desert (5,000 ft) in the early morning = chilly!

over 600 balloons from all over the world, including Croatia

beautiful...

The world has enough women who are tough;
we need women who are tender.
There are enough women who are coarse;
we need women who are kind.
There are enough women who are rude;
we need women who are refined.
We have enough women of fame and fortune;
we need more women of faith.
We have enough of greed;
we need more goodness.
We have enough of vanity;
we need more virtue.
We have enough popularity;
we need more purity.
