 That looks amazing! And you are beautiful!! I'm so happy it finally happened for you. Sounds and looks like it was worth the wait. Have to admit, I'm a bit envious.  I have always wanted to hot air balloon. Signed up once in Vermont, but the weather didn't cooperate and we had to leave the area the next day. It's on my bucket list. |

Beautiful - very peaceful looking. I love the thought of doing this, but I don’t think I could. I’m glad you finally got to go and enjoyed it.

Glad you had a good flight and a safe, if bumpy, landing!

A local balloon business in the area used to (rarely) use our property as a landing spot after having nearly no choice to land in our field one day. We then gave them permission for landing as needed.
Often thought of booking a flight but the 🐓/afraid of heights won out and I never did.

I have issues just looking off a balcony shown on the TV screen, makes me go nooooopp... Looking over the edge rooftop... Nooooo.... But absolutely no problem going up, up and away in a beautiful balloon... |

I’m glad you had a lovely time! Love your hair!
I had wanted to to this forever, and finally got my chance in December. It was a Girl’s Trip in Arizona, and 4 of 5 women went ballooning. Definitely bucket list. Add to that I got to see the Northern Lights last month, and it’s been a great year for me.
