Amanda's Birthday Week Day one

It was Amanda's birthday on Thursday 1/14 the big 30 and she was not happy about seeing the end of her 20's come but good things are happening everyday for both of us.She had to go too a nursing orientation class on her birthday after working all night so she was pretty wiped out by the time I got home from work I did bring flowers, cake and a card for her. Friday morning was the big surprise for her 30 th I booked a sunrise hot air balloon ride out of south coast winery that included and Happy Birthday banner, champagne and breakfast at the winery post balloon ride.The weather was perfect we got to help set up the balloon for launch and our ride was awesome great views of the Temecula wine country the ride lasted about one hr it was amazing how small the basket was it fit three people tightly our guide was really cool and funny and he has years experience with ballooning including metals from many balloon races.

Set up almost complete
