What a great weekend! Only two things could have made it better--if Andrew would have gotten to go and if Richard wouldn't have had to work part of it.

Robert and I got to Lincoln around 7 Friday evening, just in time to see Friday nights glow. Saturday morning, Sis and I went to the airport for the fly-in. The balloonists drop a bag on a target on the airfield. It was just perfect weather this year.

Meanwhile, Robert went with his Uncle Richard to sell produce at the Farmer's Market uptown. Richard raises unbelievable tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers. Found out last night that a lady that had been in Lincoln a couple years ago had them ship her tomatoes in California!

We also took in the Art fair Saturday at one of the parks, then went back out to the Airport Saturday evening. The wind conditions weren't perfect so there weren't many balloons actually take off but there was another glow. After the glow, because of our VIP passes, we had a catered dinner. It was wonderful! We ate dinner with the mayor and some of the coordinators of the festival, thought that was neat too. Yesterday, we took in the flea market and craft fair, and the car show before starting home. What a perfect weekend, we rested when we wanted to, and ran when we wanted to. For some really great pictures of the festival, check out www.lincolndailynews.com This is the paper Sis works for and a LOT of the pictures and articles on there are hers.
