this was the balloonfest i went to with Jason, i went just to take pictures i had no idea that because i had a nice camera it was going to get me up in a balloon.
this is an experience that will forever live in my mind, at first i dint think i could do it something inside me said don't go up & another part said u will see something from a point of view that others only dream off & with that been said (in my mind) i was like OK I'll go up & take pictures.
i have never been this closed

Hope u enjoy them & if u ever get a chance to go up dont think twice.
if u are scared of heights just dont look straight down & admire the view
the silence & the view are just one of a kind.
