One of our fun trips took us to the Albuquerque Balloom Festival in New Mexico. This is the biggest balloon show in the world. When we were there there were 1018 hot air balloon from all over the world. This is a nine day festival with ballooning happenings going on all day and into the evenings. Two of these days are special shapes day, where you might see Humpty Dumpty, a string of chili peppers, shoes a can of Pepsi and even Jesus Christ. It's a kaleidoscope of color and shapes. It's such fun to be able to walk among the balloon being readied for departure. The festival is held every October and at some point in your life you are able to go, don't miss out. It's awesome!

You seem to be living an amazing life. My dream is to buy an RV and travel someday. I love that you are giving everyone a glimpse into your nomadic lifestyle. I will be coming back. Cindy
