Well, looks like I've went too long without an update again, but we've been so busy I haven't had time to make an update. We've spent the last several days attending seminars that were quite helpful, we learned an awful lot. In addition, we purchased a couple of things we had needed for the RV, but had not yet been able to get. In addition, we attended shows in the evening, Neil Sedaka, Rita Coolidge and last night, the Osmond Brothers. So that didn't leave any time for updates...but sorry about that.
There wasn't anything to take pictures of this week while attending seminars or the Rally exhibits, but we did have a bit of excitement a couple of nights ago. As everyone knows, Albuquerque is the city for hot air ballonons, and last night they brought out several hot air balloons for the rally and they were right at the end of our row after the concert. There's a way to light the balloons up at night, so that they look like a lighted Christmas ornament. They were just gorgeous, and the pictures certainly don't do them justice, but I've included a few. We actually got to come around to the secured area and visit with the 'pilots', as they refer to themselves. These balloons are lit up with really intense flames that put off a tremendous heat. One of the pilots tried to get me to climb up on the basket before he pulled the lever to light the balloon! It felt like my hair was singing from where I was 5 feet away...Uhhhhhhh, I Don't Think So!!! But it really made for a beautiful ending to a great day.
Tonight the Rally ends, and we really take off and will be kicking things into high gear. The plan is to leave early tomorrow morning for Flagstaff, Arizona. We'll stay in Flagstaff for 1+ weeks, while we explore the Grand Canyon, Meteor Crater, Walnut Canyon Nat'l Monument, Oak Creek Canyon, Sedona, Montezuma's Castle, Sunset Crater and Wuptaki Nat'l monument. We may not hit all of 'em, but that's the current plan...and Flagstaff is a great central location to them all.
Well, that about wraps it up for now...I'll update again once we get settled in Flagstaff. Until later~
