On Sunday the 29th, the hubs and I headed north to the
Quick Check NJ Festival of Ballooning.
This is the third year we attended this super fun festival.
We arrived at 6 a.m. for the 6:45 Mass Ascension
of 125 colorful Hot Air Balloons.

Hi there...
look at those beautiful colors!!
At times, the sky was so blue,
a total of 125 balloons were launched.
The colors and patterns are just amazing.
The balloon in the center is tethered,
for those who want to experience the thrill of the ride
and remain attached to the ground.
You can purchase tickets, to experience the festival from above.
But on this day, I prefer the view from below.
It is an amazing sight,
it can't be explained,
you have to experience it!!
There were some cute, colorful shaped ones for the kids,
but my favorites are the colorful, traditional ones.
I purchased this flag at the fair,
I plan on leaving it out for the entire summer!!

The hubs and I were lucky enough to have our
own hot air balloon ride, in June 2011.
Pictures from that adventure can be viewed
here.
It was the experience of a lifetime, one I will never forget!!
