Hello from Santa Fe, NM. Here are some photos from our visit to Sandia Peak in Albuquerque, home to the world’s longest aerial tram, as well as a ballooning adventure - unfortunately, that was someone else’s!
Our stop in Albuquerque proved to be a bit of a bust. We decided to surprise the kids with a ride in a hot air balloon, waking them at 5 am for this special treat. First there was too much wind for a safe take-off, but after an hour and a half wait, things seemed to be turning in our favor.
We all enjoyed watching ours and another ballooning company unpack their gear and begin the inflating process; that is until a tear was discovered in the top of our balloon. That quickly put an end to our launch plans. It also made for a rather grumbly trip up the road to Santa Fe. So much for surprises!
We’re now camped in the Santa Fe National Forest just a few miles from downtown. The kids shook off their morning disappointment by pitching the tent our friends Tom & Ashley loaned us in Oklahoma. They spent the afternoon inside it, organizing and reorganizing their sleeping bags and stuffed animals... who knows, maybe they’ll actually sleep in it too!
