You would have to travel as far afield as New Mexico to see sights like this. A great 3 day getaway begins with a trip east of the mountains. Stop for wine tasting and lunch in Yakima before continuing to Walla Walla for the "Mass Ascension"–a sunrise launch of more than 45 decorative hot air balloons where balloonists from around the world come to show off their abilities. Corks are flying too as the wineries are celebrating spring with the release of new vintage wines. The celebration continues with a huge Balloon Glow Show. 3 days of fun guaranteed.
