DECATUR, Ala. ( WHNT ) – Hundreds of eyes gazed across the sky at Point Mallard Park Saturday morning, as hot-air balloons took off during the Annual Alabama Jubilee Hot Air Balloon Classic. Abigail Stites, her husband and her baby boy arrived early to get the perfect seat. 'This is the first time in a lot of years that I've been able to see it [hot-air balloons] since we were in Florida,' explained Stites. 'It's his first time also; so I'm excited to see him get excited about it.'
