When my DH turned 65, I gave him a surprise ride in a balloon. I called and made the reservations and the woman said "Your coming too, right?" I told her no that I was height challenged. She said DH would be disappointed so I ask some members of my quilt group and they said that I would not be afraid in the balloon. So .... off we went. He was really surprised when I pulled up to the balloon place. It was fantastic! Got to see a lot of our country side. Seriously, I don't like being up on a high curb but this ride did not bother me in the least. Go for it!!!
