53. Up, Up & Away



As the summer heats up, I'm reminded that anytime is a good time to heat up our dating lives. And what could be hotter than a Hot Air Balloon Ride over the city? As a child, my uncle surprised me with a book written especially for me, which included my full name and a hot air balloon adventure. Since the day he gave me that book, I've been looking forward to my first balloon ride. What's more is that during the "Balloon Boy Hoax," or at least before police discovered it was a hoax, I was a bit jealous that a 6-year old was having the ride of his life while I was standing on the ground looking up in a daydream. If a children's book had that great of an effect on me, imagine the effect of the real thing on your significant other. What a great surprise! At least for those who don't suffer from acrophobia or a fear of heights. (check with him or her before scheduling this event!)
You'll find several Hot Air Balloon companies in Houston. If you're a bit more on the dangerous side, you might even try a glider. Check out the following websites fore more info:

Bear Creek Balloons offers rides for just 2 (and a pilot) or for a group of 5-7
