  5. Hi MJ! I lived in Albuquerque when I was a child right by NWEF. I remember walking to school and seeing all the balloons filling up and floating by…it was amazing! Thanks for bringing back such a lovely memory!

    • You’re most welcome Ann! I bet seeing them as a kid was “really” exciting! Didn’t know you lived here. I saw my first balloon fiesta in my early 20’s and every year since and I still run outside when I hit the whoosh from the burners turning on! This is my favorite week of the year!!!

  6. Oh I love balloons………….
