Visual Adventure on a Early Saturday Morning


This morning, Reed, Maren and I got up before 5 am and went to Lake Travis to watch the Central Texas Ballooning Association's Annual Flight. We wondered how many people would get up this early on a Saturday morning to witness this event, but we were surprised when we got there around 6 am with hundreds of other interested onlookers. It was really fascinating to see all the prep work and then to witness about 12 balloons inflated and lift-off. We had a good time and then we went to breakfast at Denny's. I highly recommend if you have something like this in your area to make the effort to go. It was a visual adventure.

In grad school, Bob and I loved to attend an event called the "Balloon Glow" that was part of the hot air balloon festival Macomb (home of Western Illinois University) hosted. After dusk, all the balloons that had "raced" during the day would take turns igniting their inner flames (I don't know the correct balloon terminology) and eventually, all would be glowing...definitely a visual adventure! :)
