Well it was a long and good day again spending time with family, and of course the kids got to spend lots of time with their cousins!!
Started out the day at the Pork and Brew at Santa Ana’s Star center casino grounds. Sorry to report, overall it was a bit disappointing, and pricey too. There were less stands then I had envisioned both on the Pork side and Brew side. Plus it cost money for the small samples they gave… To top it off, none of the meat was anything special, nothing that made me stop and say.. MMMM!!
It started down-pouring on us midday and we piled into the Star center Auditorium, where the kids got to get a little of the bouncy fun in.
After that we headed a little more south to the Albuquerque Ballon Fiesta park to get a little of their Freedom 4th celebration, which turned out to be really nice. Weather was cool, sun was in the clouds and couple of pretty good music acts, Brett Young and Thompson Square! The grass was tall and lush and made for a perfect relaxing way to sit and wait for them Fireworks. Those fireworks didn’t disappoint, they were loud and, bright, and long, and punctuated a great end to a great day. NOW the downside as always was the traffic leaving! We always seemed to be in the wrong lane, and so more then an hour later we finally got on the highway home! Still it was a long day but we most certainly loved every minute of it!!
