The Annual Colorado Springs Balloon Classic

This year, instead of heading to Memorial Park for to see the Annual Balloon Classic, we decided to hike up the bluffs in Palmer Park for a panoramic view of lift-off. It was awesome!

We counted about 75 balloons in the air at one time.

The colors were fabulous with the early morning sun lighting up the city.

We watched as the sun came up.

 This is my favorite picture with downtown to the right, Cheyenne Mountain in the back and Memorial Park in the foreground.

The ReMax Balloon visited the city making me wonder if it was for sale.

What a beautiful day!
