A few weeks ago Ry and I rose early in the morning for a 5am hot air balloon ride! Why so early you (and I) ask? Well, there is a pretty good explanation...it's safest to fly either early in the morning or late in the evening because the air/wind is calm. Hey works for me, I'd like to land in one piece.
There was something quite peaceful about floating in the sky across beautiful Napa Valley, especially so early in the morning. Very refreshing and a great way to get some perspective in the very beginning of your day, eh?!
After our adventure of floating above in a basket and balloon (sooo cool!) we commemorated with a complimentary brunch topped with fresh mimosas. Yummm.
I'm so happy we finally got to go on our hot air balloon ride! It was a birthday gift from Ryan's dad last year and we were waiting for the perfect weather/season, and it was sure worth the wait!
What an amazing experience, I would love to do that someday!
