Alissa and I figured we should start it with a bang... so we blew anna's face off with fireworks.
Just kidding. we really jumped out of a plane. seriously. Skydiving on March 9th... never to be forgotten. It was UNREAL... here's how it goes...
Our boss let us off work early from pear picking...(planned in advance unbeknownst to anna)..he told us that we only had to pick 2 bins instead of 3...SOOO... perfect timing, at about 2:30 we headed to the car to leave to maybe go "jump in the ocean to cool off" (stupid gullible anna)... Alissa got a blindfold on Anna before she knew what was going on.... we drove in a few circles, off the beaten track, stopped and danced outside the car for a second, then headed toward the Motueka airport to Abel Tasman skydiving for our 3pm jump time.... took the blindfold off of Anna and introduced her to the idea that she would be jumping from a plane in no more than 30 minutes... we saw the intro video, stepped into our jumpsuits and harnesses, and marched out to our awaiting aircraft.
20 minute flight around town, 13,000 feet later, and the door was opened to our awaiting destiny....and the rest is history... the whole experience was beyond words. It will unquestionably be done again though... any takers for round two?
Turning 23 in style
Skydiving is a little scary...
WOW. Enough said.
