From 1000' up
« on: June 03, 2007, 03:19:16 PM »
 Well my mother in law decided to do something different for my father in laws and my birthday so she hooked us up with a hot air balloon. At first I thought nothing of it but once you are up there at almost 1000' and can see absolutly everything it was absolulty incredible. We left from a little public airport close to cresent beach and flew to Langley airport.

This was looking back to cresent beach

This was looking east to Langley

Baker in the back ground

Golden Ears


And finally the sun setting over Vancouver.

Yes the elements where hot but since we where flying during the evening hours it was nice to have a little heat.
