Since we have family that lives somewhat close to us and family that lives in another state we find our family traveling every other year for at least Christmas time to the other state. While we travel every year a couple of hours to have Christmas dinner with one side of our family, the other years we find that we have to take the time to travel two days down and then two days back. It is always a fun time traveling, but sometimes we find things to do together once we are there.
This year it was time for travel to the other state to visit with the family we don’t get to see as often. The travel days were not too bad this year even with a one year old. We were surprised that he did as well as he did and did not freak out as much as we thought he would.
Since this year we came down to Albuquerque, New Mexico we wanted to go and visit areas of light displays that we would visit when we lived here.
This year we learned of a tradition that we had not heard of before even when we lived here. We all went to a golf course not far from where we were staying and they had some of the local hot air balloons set up and do what they call a balloon glow.
