Balloon Day was a Bust

After the success of last year's Balloon Festival on the Eastern Shore, I've been anxiously waiting for this year's.  The weather was gorgeous today, and unlike last year it wasn't a balmy 352 degrees (I exaggerate, but you sit in the sun in August in Maryland for a few hours and see how you feel...)  The only problem was with the gorgeous weather, came a beautiful breeze. That lovely breeze was fabulous for us spectators, not so great for balloons.

Therefore, since the winds were so strong, no balloons went up.  And when the festival is called a balloon and wine festival, and you're someone who doesn't drink wine, and there'll be no balloons to look at, you leave, in favor of beating the traffic and having a yummy dinner somewhere.  So in other words, this Balloon Day was a bust.  One day, I hope to get to New Mexico and see their Balloon day.  I'm pretty sure they never have this ridiculousness to deal with...
