How to take a hot air balloon ride
It made me
Happy 
"It was really fun to do and the view was amazing. I am scared of heights so I was still nervous during take off but once it got up in the air, it was great."
How I did it: I was going to visit a friend who wanted to go skydiving. I decided I wasn't ready to go skydiving yet so we decided to go on a hot air balloon ride instead. We looked it up online, there was a place nearby so we booked a reservation. The first day we went, but it was too windy so that was a bummer. The captian said the following day wouldn't work either so we would all meet that day after that and try again. Luckily, the weather was much better and we were able to go. It was really cool watching them blow up the balloon. I was still a little nervous during take off, but it turned out great and we had a really nice landing. I got great pics!
