Day 69-- Balloon Festival- Upstate NY

We got up late and hung out until about 2pm and then took off for the Balloon Festival in Dansville, NY. It was Ken, Donna, Me and Michael and the three kids. We drove through the Finger Lakes area which includes many vinyards. It’s a beautiful area (especially in the summer). Small towns, historical buildings, docks, boats and even Amish and/or Mennonites. You see horse drawn wagons all the time. Many of these people are farmers and a lot of the surrounding land is used for farming.

Anyway, the festival was so much fun. I wasn’t expecting that. I thought we were just watching balloons go up. They had a kid’s play section with those slides that blow up. We got the unlimited ride bracelet (of course) and the kids played for HOURS. Michael got a little upset when a kid cut him in line, but for the most part, the kids were great.

The balloons looked beautiful across the sky. The weather was perfect.
