Up, Up and Away...

Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon
Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon
We could float among the stars together, you and I
For we can fly we can fly

Up, up and away my beautiful, my beautiful balloon

The world's a nicer place in my beautiful balloon
It wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon
We can sing a song and sail along the silver sky
For we can fly we can fly

Up, up and away my beautiful, my beautiful balloon

Kman and I are contemplating taking a hammer to our wee piggy bank and heading for the Davis Mountains, Alpine and the Bend Balloon Bash.

Kind of a far drive for a three-day weekend, but the lure of the Big Lonesome is so hard to resist. It's also the weekend of the Marfa Lights Festival.

Sigh.

So much we need to do at the Rancho Suburbo...but, look at those mountains! And those wonderful hot air balloons!

Hmm, 9 hours each way, 18 hours out of 72 spent driving...not to mention the cash.

I hate it when common sense wins.
