Back a couple months ago, when we got a new camera, we decided to schedule a coming out party for it – the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. We planned to make the trip last year, but our schedule filled up we passed. This year, I booked and paid for the hotel in advance, so staying home was not an option!
The drive down was fun. This was our first road trip with just the two of us, and one of the few trips where we weren’t visiting friends or family or conducting business. We took off in the early afternoon and dropped off Peanut with Charlotte's mom and sister before leaving Denver for New Mexico. By the time we were hungry for dinner, we were already down in Las Vegas, NM. This Vegas isn’t really anything like that Vegas, you understand. Then again, what is?! Anyway, after a lovely dinner, we arrived down in Albuquerque at around 10:00 PM.
