Roses? Chocolates? How about a hot air balloon ride this V-Day?

By Sarah Emily Gilbert

Couples who are madly in love are often “flying high,” but Tom Baldwin, owner of In Flight Balloon Adventures, LLC, can turn the idiom into a reality on Valentine’s Day. Since 1987, Baldwin and his team of seven pilots have been taking people on unforgettable hot air balloon rides over the sprawling farmland, reservoirs, and small towns that make up Hunterdon County, NJ. While this experience is one to remember any day of the year, Baldwin’s balloon rides can make for a particularly memorable date this Valentine’s Day. With a call to his company, Baldwin and the In Flight Adventures team will orchestrate a unique hot air balloon ride catered to you and your loved one. Forget about dinner and a movie, Baldwin can make it dinner and a hot air balloon ride with his Dinner Flight Package that includes a dinner reservation at the romantic Spain Inn II in Asbury, NJ followed by an hour ride on a hot air balloon tethered behind the restaurant.

Another In Flight package, the Overnight Romantic Adventure Getaway, may be your best bet when it comes to impressing your partner this Valentine’s Day. It offers the upscale dinner flight plus an overnight stay at one of the local country bed and breakfasts listed on their website. However, if you’re really looking to take it up a notch this Valentine’s Day – say with a wedding proposal - the Engagement Flight is your answer. Along with a bottle of bubby and breathtaking views of the countryside, In Flight Adventures can provide a large red banner on the ground below that reads, “Will you marry me?” Averaging 50 engagements a year, Baldwin and his pilots might know just as much about love as they do about flying.

The packages we highlighted are just a sampling of the options In Flight Balloon Adventures, LLC has to offer. For a full list of their flight packages and other information regarding hot air balloon rides, or possible variations in packages depending on weather conditions, check out their website or give Tom Baldwin a call at 1-888-301-ADVENTURE.

Now be like a lovebird and take your love soaring this Valentine’s Day.
