Tonight was the final night of Glendale's several months long xmas celebrations, and they finished it in style by adding lots of hot-air balloons to the party already going on in the streets & parks of their historic downtown.

We hung out there for a couple of hours, along with half of Phoenix judging by the parking situation. Luckily we saw a tiny sliver of a space on a side-street a few blocks out of town, and Sally's Smart Car squeezed into it effortlessly. Then we walked around downtown checking out loads of hot air balloons, bands on almost every street corner, movies playing, and the general fun-fair atmosphere. My favorite balloon was the Spiderman one! It was fun, and we really want to go for a hot-air balloon ride now. Check out more pictures here.
