I bought a hot air balloon ride in a silent auction last fall, and we finally used it in October. We had a perfect day--low wind, clear blue sky, leaves changing colors, warm temperatures...
And Tom and Alice arrived for a visit a few hours before our ride, so we had a babysitter as well--bonus!
This is my second favorite picture:
The boys and Grandma back on the ground
Love the balloon shaped shadow!
It is so quiet and peaceful up in the sky; just gorgeous. And there's no wind, because you're traveling with it!
We happened to float right over our house!
And this is my favorite--our pilot brought the balloon down so the balloon almost touched the pond.
Hard to believe, but the balloon folds up into this fairly small but quite heavy bag.
The ride ends with a champagne toast wherever you land (in our case, next to a blueberry field about 5 miles from our house)!
So glad we were able to take this ride--what a fantastic experience and memory!
