I have always wanted to attend the Balloon Fiesta in New Mexico. Well........this year I was fortunate enough that I conference I wanted to attend happened to occur in NM during the balloon fiesta!
I got to experience it with Tara and her mom. Unfortunately, the morning mass ascension did not occur (which wa a big bummer!), but the evening glow went off without a hitch. One minute you looked at the field and no balloons were inflatted and if you blinked, you missed balloons rising! It was definitely overwhelming and I wish I had eyes on all sides of my head so I could see everything happening. I would definitely go back!
