Birthday ballooning!

In honor of Dave's 29th birthday, we took a hot air balloon ride over the city just as the sun was rising.  Given my fear of heights, I thought I would be terrified.  To my surprise, I wasn't scared at all!

the propane heats the air inside the balloon, causing the balloon to rise

also, i found my future home.  It's a relief to finally have a house picked out :)

Afterwards, they gave us champagne & balloon flight certificates.  All in all, it was a very exciting morning.  Yay for birthdays!
