Balloon Fiesta 2014 - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Balloon Fiesta 2014 brings so many happy faces and makes even the oldest person there seem like they are a kid again.  Not one complaint except maybe that they didn’t fly one morning but there were other flight days and what’s not to like about Dunkin Donuts, funnel cakes and breakfast burritos while they are blowing up the largest balloon ever in the shape of a cow!  And then there was Elvis and Spider Pig (?).  Just the fact that there are so many in one place.  Friday morning us 3 Sower couples are headed for the “Special Shape Rodeo” (at 7:00 a.m. no less) then off to enjoy Old Towne in Albuquerque.  We have learned that retirement is just playing with other old farts!  It's been everything we expected and MORE!  Will post more pics of the special shapes after Friday.  Our hike has been moved to Saturday if the weather stays promising (the remnants of a hurricane are coming up through Arizona today).
