As much as we would all like to take a vacation in the summertime, sometimes time and money constraints hold us back. In Cheshire Connecticut, there are always ways you can take a "stay-cation" that costs little money, but takes you away from your day-to-day worries.
This Week's Featured Cheshire Stay-cation: Castle View Hot Air Balloon Rides
Located on the north side of Cheshire on Route 10, this attraction is truly a getaway from the every day. You have never quite seen Cheshire like this before. Fly over central Connecticut and gaze out at majestic views of Long Island and the rolling hills of Berkshires, set against a breathtaking sunrise or sunset backdrop.
To make this stay-cation official, it is completely necessary to pamper yourself with a champagne toast and possibly even a stay at the charming bed and breakfast.
If you're a little hesitant about the safety of a ballo
on ride, there is nothing to be worried about. According to the Castle View Website, modern balloon technology makes it one of the safest means of flight. On top of that, Castle View boasts safe, state-of-the-art balloons and the chase crew follows you on the ground, keeping in radio contact for the entire flight.
How does it all work?
Step one - cold inflation of the balloon. Step two, the burner is pointed into the balloon and heats enough air to lift the balloon. Step three, you board the basket and one final systems check is done. Step four, lift off!
I can't think of a better way to view the enchanting New England landscape of Cheshire Connecticut. While you're up there, you'll understand why I call this place home and love to help other people do the same.
