Temecula Balloon & Wine Festival ~ Day 2

 

The weather in Temecula always seems to start out overcast and foggy/misty in the mornings when we are there for this event. No worries though, balloons can still fly! Glenn opted to stay below the fog, thank goodness. We still got beautiful views!

Temecula Balloon & Wine Festival ~ Day 1

 

There were 3 hot air balloon events happening all on the same weekend! Winnemucca and Minden, NV and then Temecula, CA. We've crewed (tether crew) for our friend Kim the past few years but wanted to switch things up this year. Since going to Minden didn't work out and Winnemucca is so fun (but a lot farther to go) we opted to go to Temecula again and we crewed for a pilot named Glenn See. 

Temecula Balloon & Wine Festival - Day 2

Day 2 of the festival started out overcast and chilly and the fog didn't burn off until much later than the day before. We decided it was nice to crew in the cloudy skies instead of the hot sun but it also meant that the other balloons had to travel aways away to take off or just not take off at all.

Temecula Balloon & Wine Festival - Day 1

I've heard about the Balloon & Wine Festival in Temecula for a few years now and I've always wanted to go. Esp because it's held right by Lake Skinner - my namesake! Haha...and I just thought it would be cool to go somewhere with my name attached to it. So...finally it worked out to take a trip down there for the weekend. It's about 3 hours away, so not too bad. We had just painted the teardrop camper 2 days earlier and it was ready for another trip out.
