Hot Air Balloon Ride- Woodstock, VA

I got to take a hot air balloon ride in July in Woodstock, Virginia and it was amazing! 

 We booked a sunrise ride and although we weren't in the air for the first part of the sunrise, we still got to enjoy the beautiful colors from the ground.

 Getting the balloon ready before take off.

It's almost time to go.

 It was a perfectly gorgeous morning for a hot air balloon ride!

We landed in the yard near the other balloon. We were in the air about an hour and went about 10 miles in that hour.

Christmas Meadows Camping

Tim and I spent the weekend camping in this beautiful place--Christmas Meadows in the High Uintas.  It was a challenge to get to and we both froze the first night when the temperatures dropped into the 30s, but the scenery was spectacular and we both had a great time.  The stars were amazing the first night, but I had camera problems so wasn't able to get any pictures.  It was actually kind of nice to just enjoy the stars rather than trying to get the perfect shot!
