Hot Air Balloon Ride!!






James took me on a hot air balloon ride tonight and it was so much fun! We were supposed to go on our anniversary but with the bad weather we had to delay our ride. Another couple went with us too (they had also been delayed due to weather) and they actually got engaged on the ride. The bride-to-be's response when he popped the question was... "holy sh*#!!" She eventually said "yes". There were two balloons that went up at the same time, ours was twice as big as the other one. Our house could have easily fit inside of it. As it turns out, this was the balloon's maiden voyage...and the guy made the balloon himself (I wanted to say, "holy sh*#!!). But, then the guy said he inspects all the balloons that are flown in Michigan so we felt a little better... Anyway, the ride was great - I have always wanted to go in a balloon - highly recommended!! (Our balloon is the one above being blown up, the balloon that is in the air is the one that went with us...and the colorful picture is our view from in the basket looking straight up inside of the balloon.)
