ABQ BALLOON FIESTA EPISODE SUMMARY:

Join us on a magical journey as we recap our adventures at the 2023 Albuquerque (ABQ) Balloon Fiesta! With over 500 hot air balloons from around the globe, the ABQ Balloon Fiesta was a truly enchanting experience.

From chasing HAM-LET – The World’s Largest Flying Pig hot air balloon, to standing in awe at DAWN PATROL during the National Anthem, with stunning aerial flyovers, to closing the night with the incredible Drone Light Show and spectacular AfterGlow™ Fireworks display, this episode covers it all.

And it wasn’t just about hot air balloons! We tasted local cuisine, met wonderful people, and became part of the Albuquerque Family.

This experience was a testament to the beauty of life’s special moments, the thrill of new experiences, and the importance of achieving a healthy RV Work Life Balance (i.e. Vacation Days!).

Life is a journey, not a destination. It’s about experiencing new things, meeting new people, and making unforgettable memories. And sometimes, it’s about soaring with the giants, chasing flying pigs, and witnessing the awesome beauty of an Annular Solar Eclipse with thousands of fellow adventurers. Because in the end, it’s these moments that make life truly magical.

As we recount our experience at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, we invite you to join us on our future RV Work Life Balance adventures. Let’s continue to explore the beauty of life, chase our dreams, and create magical moments together. 

Adventure awaits at every corner and sometimes, all you need to do is look up!
