13 years ago, we were looking up at the sky, watching the hot air balloon float off into the sunset. 13 years ago, my daddy promised.
"When you turn 18, I'll take you up in a hot air balloon."
we have it on video camera. and from that day forward, I never forgot.
as he always does, he kept his promise. and on saturday, I had the experience of my life. my favorite part? my best-friend-since-we-were-five Rosalind, went with me.
and the best part about that is that she's afraid of heights ;)
buuuut because I'm her bestie, I can do things no one else can. I didn't tell her she was coming with me, until I arrived at her house that evening to pick her up. we went straight to the launch place, and she had no choice but to follow.
and follow she did. she loved it.
(told you.)
Bella Balloons was amazing, and our pilot Rob was spectacular. I'm not sure why all good things have to come to an end, but apparently they do. and when we touched back down on the ground after an unforgettable sixty minutes, I had tears in my eyes.
aaand for what it's worth, I think this would be an amazing exit from a wedding. everyone always drives off into the sunset, why not float off into the sunset?
;)
anyways. enough of all that. here's the pictures :)
This is spectacular!!! What a beautiful promise fulfilled!
