Wow! I have something really fun to share with you today! The hubs and I decided last night to do something crazy and go to the Reno Great Balloon Races today! We had to wake up at 2:00 this morning and get ready to go. Then we drove two hours to the Rancho San Rafael Park in Reno, Nevada...find a place to park, walk a mile...all in the pitch darkness! The event kicks off at 5:00am! Even Starbucks wasn't open yet!
The whole event is free. There is no charge for parking or admission. There were thousands of people there and lots of families. It was a spectacular sight and a very nice time for us together. I love car time with the hubs to talk and connect. Afterwards, we drove down the hill, found some coffee and some amazing breakfast at a little place in Truckee. We did all that and we were back home at noon! You know, sometimes you just have to do those last minute crazy things to keep life interesting. I hope you enjoy looking at the pictures and I hope you all had a great weekend!
Awesome pictures! Love the colors and lighting and photo composition. Next year we would like to join you. We have been talking about going for years but not morning people.
Maybe we can head up the night before.
