fly in a hot-air balloon

This is self-explanatory enough. I’m sure I’d be so afraid that I’d wet myself, but I still want to try.

I took Anna to Palm Springs for her Birthday/Xmas a few years back and the hot-air balloon was a lot of fun.

I would recommend doing this somewhere beautiful to make the actual ride as interesting as possible. The take off and particularly the landing is very exciting, but otherwise, it’s a flying coctail party—which is fun, of course; who doesn’t like flying coctail parties?

Oh, and wear a hat. It is amazingly hot when the burners are on. And loud. You’ll note in the picture that I’m not wearing a hat (Anna is a lot smarter than I am).
