Breaking Blog – Albuquerque

We arrived at Pueblo State Park on Monday, Sept 23^rd for 4 nights. We got our boat winterized at Rocky Mountain Boats and took care of a few other things before heading to Westcliffe on Friday afternoon. We spent a really nice weekend with our friends Vince & Lisa and put the boat away for the winter.

On Monday, Sept 30^th, we headed south to Albuquerque. We went to Kirtland AFB to the FamCamp but they were full and had campers waiting for a spot in their dry camping area. Most of the campers were there for the Balloon Fiesta, which began on Saturday, Oct 5^th. We wanted a full hook-up, since we were staying for 9 nights before we headed to the Balloon Fiesta RV grounds. We stayed at Isleta Lakes RV Park on the south edge of Albuquerque.

We met our friends Kris & Jan for dinner during the week and invited them out to our motorhome to watch the Broncos-Cowboys football game on Sunday. It was a close, but good game.

Kris & Jan are big fans of the TV program Breaking Bad, which was filmed entirely in Albuquerque. The TV series has won many Emmy awards over the six seasons it was on the air. Julie and I missed watching Breaking Bad on AMC, so we purchased the first 5 seasons to watch it. We watched all of the first and second season and 11 of 13 episodes of the third season in a week. Kris & Jan took us around Albuquerque to see where much of the filming was done and we thoroughly enjoyed seeing those places from what we had seen so far in the TV series. Maybe you’ll recognize them too.

Julie’s Mom is driving down from Colorado Springs to see the Balloon Festival with us. She has never been to the Festival and we’re looking forward to her visit.
