Hot Air Balloon Day!

Hey there, readers!

Today is Hot Air Balloon Day.

What’s that you ask?

Well, Hot Air Balloon Day is a day that celebrates the impact hot air balloons have had on travel.

Most people celebrate by taking a hot air balloon ride but since we don’t have one, we’re going to celebrate by watching cool videos of hot air balloons taking off.

Did you know that hot air balloons were invented long before airplanes? The first hot air balloon was invented and flown in 1783. That’s 120 years before the first airplane was invented!

Have you ever been in a hot air balloon? Let us know in the comments.

Enjoy your day!
