DANVILLE, Ky. (LEX 18) — Life can be short and our bucket lists can be long.

Even in our later years, you can't rule out living some of your most memorable moments.

"I'm 89 years old and I'm going up," said Delbert. "Lot of experiences when I get older."

This is their first time going up in a hot air balloon. Delbert is full of jokes and Carolyn says a key to a happy marriage is to laugh. As the sun came up over Danville on Tuesday morning, it felt more like a July or August morning as opposed to September.

They've had their share of adventures during the course of their marriage, but this is a new experience. Carolyn wondered how people got in the hot air balloon. Delbert jokingly asked if there was a restroom.
