My cousin came and visited from Chicago in July. She asked if I wanted to go on a hot air balloon ride with her, and being the try-anything woman I am, I agreed. I made the mistake of looking up 'why hot air balloons crash' on the internet the day before, which came with some scary videos. I don't know why I decided to do that - I wasn't really thinking I guess. But throughout the trip I did fine except for the one time when we were a couple thousand feet in the air and I thought about that video. I quickly thought of something else and the rest of the trip was amazing.
