Hot Air Balloon Festival

We went to the Balloon Festival at
Historical Long Branch Manor on Saturday. It was truly a beautiful place.
It is in Blue Ridge Mountain, in "Fox Hunt Country".
Lots of Lords resided there, and George Washington surveyed the property.
If only they could see what's going on there now, they'd be so proud.

A friend of Andrea's brother Dan raced his lawn mower, which was interesting to see.
They called it the Balloon Festival but it was all about the local wines. We got our glasses and tasted wines from all over Virginia.
Andrea and I taking a break with a cigar. It's not lit. Man those things stink!

Beautiful manor where lots of magical weddings happen.


This pic doesn't do the view justice. It was such a nice place with rolling hills.


Sweet rides!
We all had a great time, too bad the hot air balloons couldn't take off 'cos it was too windy.
