Summers in Albuquerque are not for the faint-hearted.

It can go from being over 100 to a windy thunderstorm that will only last long enough to water half your yard or get your car dirty right after you wash it.

And you will definitely hear, 鈥淲ell, at least it鈥檚 a dry heat, right?鈥 Once that evening starts to cool down the desert heat, you can sit back and realize how beautiful summer can be in the 505.

Weekend mornings are spent at the Downtown Growers Market or the Albuquerque Rail Yards picking up some fresh produce from your favorite local farmer. Families tend to bring out their dogs for Sunday cruising. Or my favorite move, which is just getting a bunch of sweets and baked goods. Got to carb up for the weekend, I always tell myself.

On a beautiful summer evening, just as the sun sets, you can share a conversation with an old friend on your favorite local brewery patio. I find myself writing from my favorite local spot since my college days, Marble Brewery, where on any given visit you can run into at least five different people you know just from growing up in Albuquerque. I guess you could say we all have good taste.

I shared one of my favorite brews with a friend from high school and had a conversation that went back over 20 years. That鈥檚 Albuquerque love right there.

Summertime in Albuquerque has always felt special to me, especially as a kid. Summer was the first bit of freedom you would get from the school year. When I was young, my mom would take me to summer school programs for the day while she worked. Kids from every school coming together and competing for Capri Suns, Pok茅mon cards and the best seat on the bus to the field trip.

We had the best places as kids to go to during the 鈥90s and 2000s. I feel like I had the best era of growing up in Albuquerque. But I bet if you ask anyone, they would say the same. We had The Beach, where you could enjoy a relaxing day on the lazy river or show your friends how tough you were by climbing up the stairs to the tallest waterslide. My feet still have scars from how rough that wave pool was. Planet Fun had enormous, never-ending jungle gyms.

That was about 25 years ago. Time seems to move faster as you get older. It鈥檚 good to see that there are still great local places for families to enjoy like Main Event or Sawmill District.

There are still a few that are around providing entertainment, like Cliff鈥檚 Amusement Park, where The Rattler was my first ever rollercoaster, or Hinkle Family Fun Center.

You don鈥檛 realize those were the good old days till they are long gone. Yet I am happy to see Albuquerque is still providing great places to make more core memories for generations to come.
