In This Crazy Life...

Last week I was in training all day every day at the Crown Plaza hotel. During one of my many breaks I noticed a flyer up for the Hot Air Balloon Festival. Earlier that morning I had noticed a few trucks in the parking lot with baskets in the back. Well, I've always wanted to go to a balloon glow, but of course we usually don't have things like that around here. So I convinced Kev this is how we needed to spend our Saturday night.
