Yesterday was the perfect day to fly. My husband took my oldest daughter and her friends up in the hot air balloon. They were just giddy like typical teen girls can be. They took off from a lot near our house and flew just above the trees for a long time. After all………….. “The best way of travel, however, if you aren’t in any hurry at all, if you don’t care where you are going, if you don’t like to use your legs, if you don’t want to be annoyed at all by any choice of directions, is in a balloon. In a balloon, you can decide only when to start, and usually when to stop. The rest is left entirely to nature.— William Pene du Bois, The Twenty-one Balloons
