Hot Air Balloon!

Since Doug and I moved here, we've been trying to get on the free hot air balloon that Irvine offers! We have probably gone 5 times but it was either completely full for the day or there was inclement weather. Well, we decided to try again last weekend and to our surprise, we actually got to ride on it!

I am afraid of heights, but for some reason I didn't even consider that this may scare me....until I actually got on it! The minute it started going up in the air, I sunk down and sat on the floor...and told them to tell me when we got to the top!

I told Doug to take some pictures while I was on the floor. Y'all, how is it possible to take pictures this badly!? How does he not see the pole directly in front of the camera!? Ha!

Once we reached 400 feet, I peeked over the edge and it wasn't too scary!

Again, this is FREE! So if you're in the Irvine area, go check it out at The Orange County Great Park!
