hot air balloon ride

For our birthdays, Mom gave my brother, husband and me tickets to go on a hot air balloon ride….we just had to pick a date. This past Saturday finally worked, and the day could not have been more beautiful. We were able to ride "Tiny", the largest balloon in Ohio.

If you have ever dreamed of flying in a hot air balloon, I would highly recommend it! We flew with Gentle Breeze Hot Air Balloon Company out of Lebanon, Ohio. They were so professional and had a great sense of humor. www.hotairballoonrides.com
