Balloon Fiesta!

October, 2011

Doug and I headed to Albuquerque and spent the weekend with Lisa and Brian. We woke up ver-ry early and headed out to the Fiesta. Put this one on your bucket list. Those balloons are something to see!

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Very fun!














In a matter of an hour or two, it was all over. The skies were filled with balloons!





Jack was a real trooper. But that early morning wake-up call finally caught up with him.

Isn't he sweet?







And I saved my absolute favorite picture for last. Isn't she just the sweetest, most beautiful angel you've ever seen? She was so-o good!



By sheer coincidence, Linda was in town for a nearby retreat. After Mass at the Basilica in Santa Fe, Brian and Lisa took us all out to one of the nicest restaurants ev-ah! Coyote Cafe (don't let the name fool you) was all class. Brian treated us to foods that went beyond the norm - smoking cocktails (literally), grilled lamb, honeycomb and cheese (fab!), basil and mint sorbet (flavor explosion!) fig ice cream (who knew?)--pure heaven, let me tell you. HEAVEN!


Thank you, Lisa and Brian, for a memorable evening!
