In all the years we've been coming down here, this is something we have never done, so today we decided to make the one-hour drive and head on over to Lake Havasu to partake in the Balloon Festival.
The Mass Ascension took place at 7:45 a.m. and we didn't get there in time to see it. Not because we missed it, we hadn't planned to be there that early.
There was another one scheduled for 5 pm (weather permitting), but as things turned out we weren't there for that one either.
There were activities going on all day: skydivers falling from the sky, balloon rides, stage entertainment, Classic Car show, vendors, food court.... I could go on and on, but our truth was once we walked around for about 2 1/2 hours we'd had enough of the festival and decided not to hang around until 5 for the next Mass Acsension.
So we had late lunch at Juicy's Bar and Grill (voted the #1 place to eat in town) hung around the area for awhile then made it home around 4.
