LOOK: Hot Air Ballooning
Of the 20+ emails I get in response to yesterday’s Douchebag post (doesn’t anyone comment anymore?), one in particular caught my eye. Elianna points out that one of the bits she misses most about my old blog is seeing the pictures I’ve taken. Pictures of fun stuff. Fair enough. Here’s a good start, about a week ago, the lovely Kristina and I went on a hot air balloon ride…
NOTE: This is the same hot air balloon ride that Ford paid for months back, only, I couldn’t go because the Fiesta had been “stolen.” Other fun bits of trivia, when you pay for a ride, you’re buying the air time (an hour of flight in this case), not the distance you do. That’s because the balloon pretty much just goes wherever the wind takes it. When the time is up, it then lands, pretty much wherever it is. In this case, that meant touching down on some guy’s lawn at 7:30AM. He was fairly understanding, even as a four wheel drive vehicle had to be driven across his lawn to retrieve it. Tons more pictures after the jump.

I saw these on facebook a while ago, because we’re such close friends… right?

Why is it that every time I see a picture of you I assume that you’ve photoshopped yourself into it?

Looks like FUN…was it noisy from the gas?
