Up, Up, and AWAY! (Maybe!)

My mother-in-law is fabulous. For Nico's birthday (and his brother's since they both celebrate in February) she bought 4 tickets to ride in a hot-air balloon over castles in France!
The maybe part comes in whether I can accompany my husband on this flight. Truth be told, I've always had a minor underlying fear of flying in a balloon. To me, it seems COMPLETELY in the hands of God once we're up there. I mean hello, it doesn't have a steering wheel... or brakes... You just kinda give 'er the gas and up ya go! I think it would be an AWESOME notch on the life belt of experiences, so for this reason I'm strongly considering it. (But maybe a small part of me is hoping there's fine print in the flying rules that says fat, pregnant chicks aren't allowed.) hahaha... In which case, I'll pass on the fine opportunity to Stevie so she'll have another notch on HER life belt :)

Either way, we're waiting on warmer weather to even consider the venture. What fun are castles in a balloon if there's no sun to warm us??
