On Saturday I went on my first balloon ride! If you’ve never been, I highly recommend the experience. The balloon ride lasted about an hour and a half. Since the wind was moving in different directions at different altitudes, we were able to land only a quarter mile away from where we took off.
I took a video of the experience, and a few photos. Enjoy!
I’ve been looking at houses now for a couple of months. I’m not in any hurry and my Realtor and I have been looking at all kinds of houses. Many of the tips about buying houses say that you’ll have to look at a good dozen houses before you really know what you want. That’s true.
On Saturday, we looked at 7 or 8 houses and the last one was a house in Scottsdale near Shea that turned out to be pretty cool. It’s cool enough that I decided to put in an offer (watch the video of the house). I won’t know for 10+ days whether I have it (because it’s a “short sale”) but it sounds like my offer was “in the drivers seat” according to the broker.
