Up here in CT, If we do get hit with the storm, its expected to hit late tonight, early tomorrow. As of right now, when you step outside you are instantly coated with a warm misty drizzle. Its no where close to refreshing, however its not a scary Hurricane sooooooo i'll take it!
To start this super exciting weekend, Friday night before the Hurricane starts we went to a hot air balloon festival! Its an all weekend event that Im sad I JUST found out about. Its been going on for a few years now but this year is being cut short because of the storm :( Friday night festivities however, went on as planned. At dusk they light the balloons. They are tethered to the ground and then lit them up. It was BEAUTIFUL! Today, they were supposed to set them off this morning at 6am and head off into the unknown, buuut i'm guessing hot air balloons with people + rain and wind = disaster.
Before they could start the fireworks display, they had to bring down all the balloons which I somehow became a part of. Its not like they really send out warning, they just pull them down and run with it. I may have been standing right under where the balloon was coming down. so naturally rather than move, I just took pictures. Its a little blurry cause it was coming down fast. But I feel like it really captures the chaos.
FIREWORKS.. and no, i'm not talking Katy Perry here. These are real, in your face, VERY loud, Very Close, Ash falling all over you fireworks. They were pretty great! It was a very cool event, hopefully next year I can go and enjoy the whole festival!
When all the fun was over we walked 30 miles back to our car.... then turned around and headed in the correct direction of our car.. found the car and headed home!
The sky was super clear and the stars were screaming my name.. So I snapped a few shots of the sky. Not knowing what to expect for the next few days, I took advantage of the clear beautiful air!
If you or any of your family is in the path of the storm, Stay Safe.. and TRY and stay dry! <3
*LOVE*
