hot air balloons at the wellsville balloon rally

It’s almost that time my friends… Time to head north to my hometown of Wellsville, NY for the Great Wellsville Balloon Rally. There’s nothing quite like sitting in the backyard with drink in hand watching the sunset with the hot air balloons flying low over the house you grew up in. No noise except the sound of the fuel tank igniting it’s flame and making the balloon rise higher and higher. If you have never been for a ride in a hot air balloon before, well… you’re missin out. Flying in a hot air ballo­on is one of the most serene experiences I’ve ever had. Feels like you’re flying. And I’m not one for heights, but in a balloon… I don’t care! O yeah!… and when you land, there is always champagne! Can’t wait!
