Up, Up And Away

Today I finally took the hot air balloon ride that my Grandpa and I used to talk about.  Hubby and I got up at 4:30am to do the sunrise ride.  If you've never been on one, I highly recommend it.  It was amazing and so peaceful!  After we landed, there was a champagne toast... great start to our weekend!

Thanks to my Hubby for making this day happen!  Another awesome adventure to add to our book of memories together!

I just found out we are at 11,500 feet!
Could have told me that when we were back on the ground! lol
