ALBUQUERQUE BALLOON FIESTA – THURSDAY OCTOBER 12, 2017

Today we got up at 4:30 a.m. to have breakfast at the balloon museum.  Breakfast is from 5:30 a.m. to 9:30 with a buffet going the entire time.   It was really nice because we were in a room overlooking the launch field which had wonderful heat and an outside balcony to take pictures.

This is the pin we got at the breakfast.

After the balloons went up we spent time touring the museum.

Thursday evening we went over to the launch field to do some shopping and watch the evening glow and fireworks.  May of the balloons are inflated and then the burners light up the inside of the balloon.

This is followed by some really cool fireworks.
