This weekend
we kicked off Texas on Tour’s final stop for the year at the International
Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque, New Mexico. With hundreds of hot air balloons
set against colorful sunrise and sunset backdrops, it is clear why visitors far
and wide venture to New Mexico for this amazing tradition. As an international
event, we welcomed visitors to Texas on Tour from all over the world including
Brazil, Canada, France and Sweden!
We were
thrilled to welcome lots of neighbors, state neighbors that is, to the Texas on
Tour exhibit. Since the Lone Star State is so close to New Mexico, many
visitors were curious and looking for advice about planning their next Texas
getaway. Luckily, they will receive the 2012 Texas Travel Guide they requested
while at Texas on Tour in the mail shortly, which highlights all of the wonderful things to do, places to go and historic sites to visit in Texas. It has all the tips and
info you could ever want on Texas destinations and attractions. Anyone can grab
their own Texas Travel Guide at TravelTex.com.
Our journey
has taken us almost 10,000 miles as we visited 11 different cities throughout
the U.S. this year. We're both proud and sad to see our tour come to a close in
Albuquerque, New Mexico. Come see the sites at the Balloon Fiesta and spend
some time with Texas on Tour before we wrap up for the year on Sunday, October
14th!
