Balloons and music at annual festival in NJ

As they've done most summers for years, Dan & Julie attended the Quick Chek Festival of Ballooning in central New Jersey in late July. Christine, Andy and Shannon came along, and for a second time, they were joined by Dan's friend and former co-worker Tom and his wife, Marcia.

Although it was a beautiful day, the wind was too brisk for the balloonists to take off. Some had trouble inflating their hot-air balloons, while others managed to get them filled but stayed on the ground.

As dusk fell the periodic bursts of flame keeping the air heated caused the balloons to glow in the dark, while the crowd listened to a concert by classic rockers Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo.

Angry bird looks angry.
