We had a great first day on our Balloon Fiesta trip! We had a early start (4am!) but it was so worth it to watch the mass ascension. Afterwards, we did a small city tour and then headed to Old Town. After lunch we had some much needed rest time back at the hotel before heading back to watch the Balloon Glow, which due to winds was cancelled. We still got to enjoy a drone light show celebrating 100 years of Route 66 and a great fireworks show!
