My Hot Air Balloon Ride over the Rio Grand

Yea! Happy Birthday to Me! I got to cross off a big one from my list--A hot air balloon ride through the Rio Grand Gorge in Taos, New Mexico. This was an amazing experience and I loved every minute of it. We got up so early and watched the sun rise over the mountains while waiting for the wind to die down. Clint helped blow up the balloon and then we were off. It was absolutely perfectly peaceful floating above and through the gorge. The gorge is amazing. So Beautiful. The company we went with had two balloons out and it was fun to radio back and forth with them and to see them ahead of us in the gorge. Our pilot was pretty adventurous and actually touched the basket down on the water a couple of times and we definately went higher than them. After the trip we headed back to the high bridge rest area and ate brunch.
