There’s a lot more in hot air ballooning than you would think (they’re harder to fly than an airplane) so it’s hard to get someone to take you up. But if you’re lucky, this can be a really fun adventure. If not, they have hot air balloon events where you can watch dozens of them take off at once.

We haven’t documented this one yet. If you have tried it, please leave your comments below!

   I’ve done this before! My wife (before she was my wife) was going to surprise me for graduation. The night before she let it slip what we were doing, though. It was awesome seeing an Arizona sunrise high up in a rickety wicker basket.
