This was our first balloon ride, and it was an amazing (I do not use the word amazing frivolously) experience! My fiance, who is afraid of heights, was unfazed at all. It was so peaceful and beautiful soaring in the air.
Kudos to our pilot, David, who was very knowledgeable and thoughtful. And the rest of the ground crew, they were fantastic, too, friendly and hands-on. It was a very cold morning the day of our ride. But there was blankets for anyone that needed one, and outdoor heaters to keep people warm, which was very helpful. We did the ride on my birthday, and there was a "Happy Birthday" banner and cake, too. Thank you, California Dreaming!
