Come Fly WIth Me

January 8, 2011

I was always fascinated by the people who hold/sell huge bunches of balloons, and I always kind of wanted to hold them myself (and fly away with them like Gonzo in the Muppet Movie, or Curious George).  Today at Disneyland I got to do just that!  The only catch was that the balloon lady had to keep holding the end of the bunch, so that if I let go, they wouldn't all fly away.  I was surprised by how hard they pulled on me, making me believe I really could lift off into the night sky.  And I was thankful the sales lady had a good grip on them when she charged a dad $24 for two balloons!  I did not want to have to replace all of the balloons in the bunch for $12 a piece...
