The Bella Balloons pilots and crew had the pleasure of meeting several couples in the past few weeks.
Happy birthday to Milla who was celebrating her birthday. Anatoly pulled off the ultimate surprise by arranging all aspects of the balloon flight ahead of time, then driving Milla right to the launch site. Although Milla and Anatoly currently live in Cincinnati, OH, they are both from Russia and have only lived in the United States 1 year. They shared some interesting perspectives with the pilot, including, “Cincinnati and Dayton have great roads to chase the hot air balloons. It would be MUCH harder to chase in the Ukraine!!!” We believe him, and decided not to go to Russia to find out! J
We also helped Mary celebrate Bob’s birthday, and Andrew & Bianca’s celebrate their 1-year anniversary with hot air balloon rides.
For those of you who are “pranksters”, Peggy’s 50th birthday present, a Champagne flight with Bella Balloons was followed by some family trickery! Peggy’s husband, John, and about 15 family members met the hot air balloon flight team at our launch site in Springboro, OH, near Centerville, OH, south of Dayton, OH.
Once the balloon was in flight, we noticed that the family remained at the launch site for quite some time. When we returned after landing, we found Peggy’s SUV completely wrapped in shrink-wrap. After some cutting, the windows revealed many soap messages including, “50…AARP baby, over the hill”, and many other fun 50th birthday comments. Obviously, Peggy’s family was quite busy during the flight !!
Hopefully, some fantastic pictures will follow. Again, happy birthday and anniversary to all!
