My husband and I celebrated our anniversary with this hot air balloon ride!!! And what a wonderful experience it was!!! There were 10 in our group when we met in the dark at 6:00am. As we drove in the van, pulling the balloon all wrapped up on the trailer behind us, one of the guys in the group joked "I guess this is our hot air balloon ride"! It was fun to watch the crew lay out the tarp, unbundle the balloon, inflate it with huge fans, then blow in the hot air to totally inflate it! The crew put on the side of the basket a "Happy Anniversary" banner for us on one side and a "Happy Birthday" banner on the other side for two of riders celebrating birthdays. The ride was amazing!!! It was so neat to watch all the other balloons in flight with us. I took a picture of 5 balloons flying in our view. The ride was incredibly smooth. David, our captain, was very informative and ran a tight ship (all his coworkers did a great job keeping us safe). After the ride, we were taken to the Vindemia Winery for a light breakfast. Gail and her crew served up delicious cheese, crackers, fruit, bread, coffee and Mimosa. My husband and I were each treated to a slice of delicious chocolate cake in celebration of our anniversary! We all were treated to samples of the delicious wine that the Vindemia Winery made. Before we left Gail presented us with a bottle of wine from her and David as a thank you. It truley was the perfect experience that both my husband and I would highy recommend!!!
