My wonderful husband bought me a balloon ride for Chrsitmas, my birthday and our anniversary. We finally got around to using it this morning. Boy was it a beautiful ride and soooo exiciting. Here are a few pics . . .

It's just about ready to go!


Here we are just before takeoff! I was a little nervous . . .

It's a race and they're ahead.


Loading it all back up after the ride.


The landing was a little bumpy for me but apparently the pilots thought it was fine. As is custom after every balloon ride (I just learned this today) we celebrated a good flight with champaign and brunch. What a wonderful day. I am sooo stoked.
