I used to go with my mom every year to see the hot air balloons during the Fourth of July weekend. I haven't been in ages, and Jacob had never been so I convinced him to wake up at the crack of dawn to go with me. (Forgive our glamorous looks, it was 6 in the morning)
Note: If you get there early enough, you can watch them blow the balloons up from the start. Very cool.
I do, however, recommend that you go on a day that you don't have work. We both were dead the entire day...
