Balloon Training this weekend for Macy’s 100th Thanksgiving Day Parade! 🎈🦃 A great training day for Astronaut Snoopy, it was windy and he was testing us. I’m always blown away by the level of training on every team that’s part of the parade. They train for every scenario and as an event planner I’m always in awe of the level of detail they put in this parade. Happy 53 days until Thanksgiving! by @nextstop_nicole

🍂 Hello, autumn. There’s something about the first day of fall in New York—the crisp air, golden light, and the promise of leaves putting on their annual show. From the waterfalls and wineries of the Finger Lakes to the rolling hills of the Hudson Valley, it’s hard to imagine anywhere more beautiful when the foliage begins to glow. 🍁🧡 Here’s to more cozy days, colorful drives, and the magic of a New York autumn. ✨ #FirstDayOfAutumn #AutumnInNewYork #FingerLakes #HudsonValley #FallFoliage taken in Hudson Valley, NY by @nextstop_nicole
