When Cameron was younger, I would occasionally take him on a car ride in the morning both to give Linna an opportunity to sleep in and to get Cameron to fall back asleep for another hour or two. In the last few months, he still tends to wake up fairly early but doesn't want to fall back asleep. This morning, however, he clearly was still sleepy but didn't seem to want to fall asleep in my arms. So, I took him for a drive and lo and behold, within 5 minutes, he had passed out. We drove around for a couple of hours when I stopped this hot air balloon. We were able to drive directly underneath it and I actually took this shot from the driver's seat. I don't believe I even took off my seat belt.

On another note, I think it says something about the passage of time that I'm able to start a sentence with "When Cameron was younger..."

That's a wonderful shot and to have taken it from the drive's seat..that is something. Awesome.
