It\u2019s one thing to ride in a hot air balloon<\/a>. But, it\u2019s quite another to be wholly surrounded by hundreds of colorful balloons as they ascend in unison to fill the sky at daybreak. That\u2019s a lesson I learned firsthand when my family and I attended the 2017 Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. We experienced such awe and amazement when we looked up and saw nothing but hot air balloons all around. When talking about bucket list items, attending this event<\/a> at least once should definitely be on your list.<\/p>\n
