If you didn't know, I really love hot air balloons. I've been wanting to go on a hot air balloon ride for years and Ive been planning on getting one tattooed on me, so when I heard there was going to be a hot air balloon festival you can only imagine my excitement.
This morning my boyfriend, bestfriend and I packed in my car and took a little road trip to Balloons Over Paradise! We got up at 4:30 to make it there before sunrise. We got to stand in the middle of 30 hot air balloons and watch them inflate around us. It was amazing.
Unfortunately it was too windy for them to rise so we missed out on tethered the balloons rides :( but Im still so happy I went and had the chance to experience it.
Where is this located =] I would love to go to something like this.

It was in Immokalee Florida. It was the first year. I'm hoping they continue doing it every year!
DeleteThat looks exciting! I wouldn't mind if they didn't go up, they're amazing to just look at. I want badly to go to the Albuquerque balloon festival! I try to plan a road trip around it every year, I hope I get around to it this year!
ReplyDeleteIt was so exciting! Hopefully you get to go this year!
DeleteHow wonderful! You got some great pictures too.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been in a hot air balloon since I was a kid, but I remember it being pretty cool, just really loud. I never got to go on one that wasn't tethered though so maybe it gets quieter on the ones that drift for awhile. Either way, hopefully you get to go sometime soon!
There is something so magical about hot air balloons. I love them too! Looks like a really cool event, even there was wind.
