Birthday Wish: 100-Year-Old Gets Wish To Ride In Hot Air Balloon - Philadelphia News, Weather and Sports from WTXF FOX 29

A Downingtown woman got to live out her special birthday wish, 100 years in the making.

Miriam Krause turned 100 Monday and her birthday wish was to fly in a hot air balloon.

With the help of the "Twilight Wish Foundation," Krause was able to fly with her family.

She flew over the farms of Pottstown, and got to see horses, and skim the tree tops.

Krause says she grew up on a farm where she saw hot air balloons all the time -- but until Tuesday she had never ridden one.
