Vacations can be fun!
No weight restrictions this year!
Temecula California is "Wine Country"
Monster LowCarb Energy drink w/protein
Stick of cheese, hard boiled egg, 2 spicy wings
They served a little champagne brunch after the Hot Air Balloon ride!
I skipped the sweets and bagels, and did OK!
You don't have to be "all low carb" to pass up a cookie!
All this before noon!
The Valley here is cold in the morning - 35 degrees today!
Then when the sun comes up, it heats up nicely -
Ocean breezes come in from across the mountains....
In a word...yummy weather!
The balloon ride was gentle and great fun!
So high up there's almost no wind at all.
Hope you are having a great weekend.
Wish you were here!
Anne, that has been my dream since I was like 5! Although I'm frightened - were you afraid?!
ReplyDeleteOMG....heights make me queasy, don't know how you did this and still managed to take pictures. Good for you, ......:-) Hugs
ReplyDeleteYES - I was nervous at first!
ReplyDeleteBut it was so gentle and easy -
There was almost no wind...so high up!
We just levitated there without a sound.
You could hear dogs barking down below.
It was like a dream of floating in time/space....
I felt really safe. It was enchanting!
Wow! A hot air balloon flight is on my bucket list. I would be really nervous, though, (I'm not very good with heights!) and I don't know if I'd ever be brave enough to do it. So it's good to know that you felt perfectly safe. Great photos, I am intrigued to see the other balloons up there too.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like great fun!!!
ReplyDeleteI think only Saskatchewan doesn't change their time...I am in Ontario.
This seems to be a really fun adventure. Can't wait for your next set of pics.
That's on my list of things to do when I'm thinner ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! How was that champagne? It looks yummy.
You look like you are having such an adventure. I am happy for you. You earned this fun trip!!!

ReplyDeleteWOW the pictures were wonderful. I am so glad you are having so much fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a trip! Looks like you are having a great time and the balloon thing is on my list to do one day as well.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Does that ever look like fun! :)
ReplyDeleteOh WOW!!! I'm doing that when my weight is low enough that I feel I won't bring the balloon down (or be refused a flight!)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! - I thought for sure they would kick me to the curb...
ReplyDeleteThey never even raised an eyebrow (because of my "weight")
Different story last year, eh?
It' an ongoing process, for sure!
How cool is that!!!!!! I've always wanted to try hot air ballooning! What a glorious view!
ReplyDeleteWoo-hoo!
