On the 29th of June, 2007, Kim, myself, Ted, Sharon, Chantelle and Amber went on a Hot Air Balloon Ride (operated by Adventures Out West). On Day 8 of a multi-day vacation: No rest for the weary. It's a good thing we got home early last night, because today was the earliest day of the vacation. We were up at 0400! After we gulped down some coffee, we packed up the Volvo, and headed out onto the highway. The trip to Castle Rock was a short one, but we had to wait a little for our next event. After a brief delay, we were on our way to a hot air balloon ride - Up, up and away! in a silent ride, high above Colorado. The views were magnificent, and the weather fantastic. Floating high above the busy city, we enjoyed the spectacular views and serene experience.
