I’ve always been interested in going to a hot air balloon festival. I’m not so interested in riding in one as I am to photograph the festivities. Last summer I didn’t have any free time, or a car to use to escape home for a weekend to go to such an event. This spring/summer/fall will be different so I figure I should start scouting for local festivals to plan on going to and maybe make plans to travel to one, but we’ll see about that one!
