hot air balloon ride

DREAM ADVENTURE NUMBER TWO: hot air balloon ride

I went sky diving a few months ago and the most pleasurable part of that experience was after I pulled my chute and was just floating there alone. It was eerily quiet up there and very serene. I would love to replicate the whole floating peacefully in the sky feelings by hot air ballooning. Plus the whole idea of going up into the sky on a hot air balloon is so mysterious and fairy tale like. Who even came up with the idea of putting a giant balloon on a basket and flying into the clouds with it?

I looked up a few websites in my area.

Looking at pictures I think it would be fun to go ballooning over a snowy mountain or witness a beautiful sunrise from the sky. It'd be so romantic in the true sense of romanticism. The price range seems to be around $200 which isn't that bad.

They are even hot air ballooning festivals in my area except I'm sure they cost a lot more to go on a ride during the festival but it still be a pretty thing to witness and take pictures of.
