1,600 Feet Off The Ground

As you all know we celebrated our Anniversary in September, and how else to do it then with DynamicDuo style =)

The main events of the weekend included lots of Asian food, hours of scrap booking ( yes we are a little nerdy ) and a romantic sunset hot air balloon ride.

The balloon ride was actually a present of mine from Sammy for my birthday this past April, but I decided back then to wait and use it on our anniversary. I just figured it would be more romantic surrounded by all the warm colors of fall.

The Hot Air Balloon company was called Sundance Balloons and as I hear its like the Wall mart of the balloon industry ( can you imagine there is such a thing as the balloon industry?). The basket fit 10 people comfortably and our balloon was supposedly the second largest in Canada.

The overall experience was amazing and I would recommend it to anyone. Its easy to forget how small we are when we go about our day to day lives. When dangling in a basket 1,600 feet above the ground with nothing to stop you from plummeting you become a philosopher. Its funny how quiet everybody became after lifting off the ground. Everyone taking in the beauty of mans first flight and how mesmerizing it was.

I hope Sammy & I are able to do this again very soon =) .
Happy Anniversary!
