Big, beautiful balloons in Blythewood

Should have posted these last night, but didn’t get to it until now. I was reminded when I saw the picture in the paper this morning from the Blythwood Balloons, Blues and Bar-B-Que festival Saturday evening and thought, “That’s a nice picture, but not as beautiful as the ones I took.”

Of course, mine had granddaughters in it, which is an unfair advantage.

I was a little disappointed that the balloons didn’t actually take off, slip the surly bonds and all — at least not while I was there. While I was there, they were tethered and taking folks up and down for short rides. Which was nice, but not as awe-inspiring as a bunch of hot-air balloons floating away.

And it was just the perfect night for it…

    So was the BBQ any good? what type? please report, if possible. BBQ reconnaissance is my personal mission.

    The BBQ was very good, from local restaurant Smoke. However, they have recently closed, so hopefully we will have another Balloon/Blues/BBQ this year in Blythewood.
