We had so much fun...it was chilly and overcast...but the clouds were so high that they didn't not ruin the view...
DH and our friend helping inflating the balloon
our pilot hooking things up inside...
DH and the view
the smog that came down from LA
the white in the background is the ocean...and if you look at the middle road crossing the highway...there is a dark patch...thats our complex where we live
don't mind my hair here...
this guy in the house took his kids out to see us and wave at us...we landed 100 ft from his house...
we landed on a highway under construction...
if you guys ever get a chance...its so much fun!!! the company also got me a birthday cake!!! they were so nice...we had chamgagne and cheese and crackers afterwards...

teri - he was just kidding...but he was really scared of heights and didn't tell us until we got there...but he was so excited about it...he said going up he was a little nervous...but the flight was great...we were about 5000-5500 feet...

How was your landing?? FH proposed on a hot air balloon and when we (crash) landed the basket fell over (so scary!) and our pilot told us that always happens so I was curious. It's so much fun though!
Great pics!!

Re: My birthday hotair balloon ride
that looks great! I did a hot air balloon ride a few years ago.
Happy Happy Belated Birthday! Was that John's idea? how fun!

Great pics!!
the landing was a bit 'rough'...and I thought we were going to spill out on our faces...but our pilot says that never happens...that the balloon will keep you from tipping over...
we landed on a freeway that is being constructed...so the curb stopped us...
lisa...this was actually John's idea...but I had showed him a month or so before...he tried to keep it a secret...but he hates keeping secrets...he likes to talk about things and be excited...so he told me about 1 week before
