Hot Air Ballooning -Andy took me Hot Air Ballooning, March 2007. We had a great time and met some new friends. We had a crash landing with the balloon, as you can see. It was a little scary, but I found out later that it is common to have the basket topple over when landing! On this same trip we went whale watching on a boat and in the last 30 minutes of our adventure we saw a mother and two babies. This was a very nice, fun filled weekend in LaJolla, CA.
