Hot Air Balloon RIde






















This morning Dan surprised me with a hot air balloon ride over Albuquerque. It was incredile. So peaceful and quiet. The morning was just perfect. The winds were light and the sun was just coming up over Sandia Mountain. We were just floating up there for about 2 hours. The view was incredible. I thought that I would be scared because it went so high, but I never had a scared feeling at all. There were several other balloons up there because the winds were perfect. So that made it all the more prettier. The landing was a little bumpy but not too bad. When we landed , the chase crew was there to help us. The crew also had a bottle of champagne for us to share in honor of a successful flight. It was just awsome.






We enjoyed it so much, Dan and I are going to be part of the chase crew next week.! We helped inflate the balloon and then after the ride, we helped fold her up and pack her away for the next flight. Just couldn't be more perfect!






Thanks Dan for the best birthday present ever!!!
