This weekend is the Plano Balloon Festival. They have it every September. Twice a day several balloons take off from a local park. There is a live band playing and booths of neat items and carnival food all around. We figured we would arrive an hour before the balloons were set for their evening take off so we could find a good seat to watch from. Well we got off the highway and slowly made our way to the parking area. The traffic was awful! It took us 45 minutes to make it to the first parking lot. We then had to walk 2 miles to the launching zone. We had no idea it was that far! So we missed the take off obviously, but I did get some good pictures of the pretty balloons anyways!
After walking through the booths and getting a lemonade, we noticed there was one balloon still getting ready to take off. So I got a few pics of the take off. We had a great time and got lots of exercise walking around.
