Matt & I had a 'date morning' today. For our 40th birthdays, my mom & dad got us each a hot-air balloon ride. It's taken us almost 2 years to complete this activity, but we did. We drove to Chandler, AZ at 4:30am this morning and lifted off the ground, in our balloon, a few minutes after 6am. It wasn't a very windy day so in 1-hour we only traveled a distance of 3 miles. (You can see Matt's Google Map of our route.) We reached a height of 1 mile. The most interesting fact to me was that when we did the math (adding up the weight of the balloon items, the people, and the air) we were equivalent to a mac truck flying in the air. It was a gentle, beautiful, and amazing experience! Thanks mom & dad.
