In 2008 I lost my job. I then bought an RV and went on a three year road trip that took me to all of the lower 48 states, to 5 provinces in Canada, and I spent 3 months in the winter in Mexico. I then returned home for my 50th birthday in June 2011. This blog is a record of this amazing road adventure and I hope you enjoy every mile of my trip.

These are so cool, about 15 yrs ago they had balloon Fiestas here in Tucson then they built all these houses and people complined now no more. Glad you enjoyed it
I was there that evening, seeing as I live in Albuquerque. The airforce band was pretty good. I didn't care for the band that played later in the evening however. My favorite hot air balloon was the Darth Vader one.
The Darth Vader Balloon was huge and it was neat watching it being filled. I wasn't able to attend the mass ascention the next morning and I wish I was able to. The band that played in the evening played music from the 70's.
I hear you, that mass ascension is way tooooo early!!!
I saw it being filled too but I had no idea what that huge black thing could be, until I saw it in the air and I was amazed. I took a bunch of pictures of it to send to my kids.

ReplyDeleteCan you believe that Darth Vader balloon? That was amazing. I got a picture of it the next day, during mass ascension.
ReplyDeleteYes the airforce band was good. I didn't get to hear the other one.
