HOT AIR BALLOON RIDE

It's been a desire of mine to take a hot air balloon ride for some time now. I think it would be a perfect date, but an awesomely fun time, date or not. 'Tis the season for such adventures (have you seen any up in the sky lately? My aunt texted me today telling me to look up into the southwestern sky - 3 balloons in flight!) and a little asking around lead me to the understanding that rides are several hundred dollars per person! I think it'd be totally worth it, though.

  2. i'd be scared, but they're so pretty! they used to fly all the time in san diego, and sometimes they would land in the fields by the coast, and one time when i was coming home from the beach by torrey pines, one landed on the freeway!
