It's been awhile, so I thought I'd tell about our latest adventure. Back to ABQ for the Balloon Fiesta.
We took a chance and drove cross-country from Cali to New Mexico with our autistic, 20-year-old son. He did great. He saw all the little things along the way that we usually ignore: trains, snow on the mountain, fireworks stands, trading posts, etc. It was a real joy seeing the world through his unique eyes. Now I know how Dad and Mom felt driving cross-country with 4 kids in tow! Some good, some bad, but mostly fantastic!
We even got to see Albuquerque's great zoo/aquarium/biopark/train. Clayton was in seventh heaven, as you can see in the picture above. The memories we shared on this trip will last a life-time.
