Here are some pictures from my hot air balloon ride earlier this summer. I would highly recommend a balloon ride if you ever have the chance.



Our balloon ride left from Aamodts Apple Farm/St Croix Vinyards in Stillwater, MN. The ride took us southeast toward the St Croix River. It was a clear, beautiful night. We could not have asked for a better one.

Filling the balloon We got to see the entire process of filling the balloon.

The scenery was incredible! We had a great view of the St Croix River Valley in the east and downtown Minneapolis in the west. This picture was taken looking northeast.

 Great view!
