"Honeymoon Ride"

Ben and Alicia were returning to their home in LA from a delayed, they were married six months ago, "honeymoon" in Napa and San Francisco, when they stopped by for a nice ride on a beautiful day with cloud formations after a recent cold-front passage.  Quest towed us for 15 minutes to 8000' over the Monterey Bay coastline where we released and started our 45 minute glide back to the Hollister airport above, around and under the beautiful clouds.

Ready to "taxi" to the runway:

After release from the twoplane:

Looking north while over Prunedale. Our airport is 25 miles to the right under the clouds:

Quest providing "celebratory" refreshment after landing:

It's not just the balloon-ride passengers who get Champagne:

And chocolates too!
