| We almost hit the roof of this house and then landed in their backyard! That's Matt trying to pull down the balloon on the left-side of the photo |
| Matt gave me a hot air ballooning trip for my birthday just before we were married and, after three weather-cancelled attempts to go up, we finally made it!!! It was a gorgeous October day in western Virginia and a fun way to spend an afternoon! |
| Matt holds onto the basket as the rest of us bounce around a bit. Notice how close we are to the house. |
| Twenty minutes later, Matt is getting the balloon down! |
