93/365 We biked there
The Forest Park Balloon Glow. Every mid-September, the Friday night before the race. Used to be, you could drive over sometime in the evening, park, walk about a quarter mile or so, and enjoy the balloon glow. It was almost my first date with Jake back in college, but not quite (we had a tagalong). Nowadays, you have to get there two hours before rush hour and wait, or take the metrolink and walk, or park and walk 2 miles or more. Plus fight the traffic insanity.We biked this year. We drove to the park, left our car in the opposite corner of the balloon glow, and biked over. It was perfect. We got some exercise, we hauled all the stuff we wanted in the trailer, the kids didn't whine.
