This weekend I went to New York with my mom and sister. My mom wanted to go to New York to see a balloon festival. The trip there took four hours and it was excruciating since my mom had no idea how to get there. Plus, I had to wake up early and I am not a morning person. When we got there we checked into our motel and then went to where the balloon festival was being held. We went to the airport that the hot air balloons were supposed to be set off at and then found out that it would be canceled for that night because of the strong winds. The festival was going to be held the next morning at 6am though. We then went to get something to eat. We went to a seafood restaurant. I ordered california rolls since they my favorite thing to eat. After we were done eating we went back to the motel and me and Lauren went down on a deck to watch fireworks on top of the lake. The next morning when we woke up extremely early we left for the airport again to see the balloon festival. This was one of the balloons I watched get blown up and lifted into the air. There were about 30 different balloons that were set off into the air simultaneously. It was gorgeous even though I was angry about waking up at 6am on a Sunday.
