Robin and I got into Reno about 10PM last night with Jen, B, & Bri. Robin and I got to bed right away, the kids, of course, stayed up later. We got up at 4AM, checked out and headed to Rancho San Rafael Park for the balloon races. We arrived in time for the glow show, very cool. Next was the "Dawn Patrol", but I think the best part was the mass ascension! There were 100 balloons there and they all began inflating and taking to the sky at about 7AM. The crowd was allowed to walk in and among the balloons as they were preparing and it was pretty cool! James and Doreen were in Reno and we had hoped to run into them but we missed each other.
We took way too many photos and posted the best of them in this separate gallery for those interested. It was hard picking one for my daily photo and I finally settled on this one. After the balloons drifted away we ran to Denny's for breakfast and then headed home for a nice long nap. After the nap I got a call from an old friend and we spoke on the phone for quite some time, we made plans to get together and I look forward to it.
Dinner was "fend for yourself", Jen stayed, it was really nice having her around, we miss her lots. Well, we all had a great time and look forward to going again next year.
Until tomorrow,
Darron
