Come Fly with me
Come fly with me come fly, lets… fly away… :)
A while back, Rosina gave me a gift certificate for my birthday. The Certificate was for a 1 hour balloon ride! Unfortunately, due to many life events, i was unable to use it right away; then i just dint really feel like using it for a while. Luckily, I kept running across the certificate from time to time and kept note that it would expire in 2004. Time passed…
I really didnt want to go all alone, but really there was only 1 person i would have liked to gone with. however, as time grew slim i decided that going by myself wasnt so bad. So i booked my flight for July and somewhat forgot about it. Haha, as the date came closer tho, i grew more and more excited. I always wanted to go on a real balloon ride.. and this was going to be a great trip.
So this morning, at around 4am i left my house to drive down to Napa and to Balloons above the Valley. Sadly, the weather around Napa wasnt the best, so they ended up driving the group out to Winters, where we hopped into Balloons and soared into the air. It was beautiful! and i ended up taking over 90 photos of just the sights. It was great, and even tho i ended up being surrounded by 15 other people, i felt like it was just me up there, the ground far below, the sky bright blue.. the sun shining over the horizon, it was awesome. I think i could have taken hundreds of photos! haha, but there were many times where i just put my camera down, watched the horizon, and felt the wind and warmth of the sun on my face.
Ah, there are very few things that could have made it a better morning. :) Thanks again Rosina.
