This past Monday I completed an item on my to do list... To take a Hot Air Balloon ride. Earlier this spring I bought the tickets at a silent auction event held by The Latin Museum of Art in Long Beach. They were just sitting there saying buy me....
Taking a ride in a balloon goes way back to being a child and seeing them on T.V. I am not sure if the first impression goes to the Wizard of Oz or Lassie. But it seemed mystical then and it really was that type of experience.
The assent into the clouds in the morning air was soft and you have almost no feeling of movement. We floated for almost seven miles and landed smoothly on the edge of an air field. I wondered what it would feel like to be in the small gondola... would there be any fear? Not for me but for some. I felt safe and very secure.
It was fun to look over the vineyards and more importantly into peoples backyards. Kind of like playing I spy, but the people who saw us waved and we waved back.
Many times we have things we yearn to do.... I suggest you find a way to do some of them before it is too late.
Have a great week,
Jeff
