This weekend, Dan and I had to attend at wedding way out on the east end of Long Island. It was lovely, blah blah blah, And after watching two of our friends take the plunge into marriage, Dan and I decided to take a totally different kind of plunge:
Can I just say that skydiving is the most amazing experience in the entire world? Seriously, it beats everything I've ever done, and that includes hitting big jumps in the terrain park, powder days, and sex (maybe not that). There is just NOTHING like jump out of a plane and experiencing 40 seconds of freefall towards the earth. Nothing. Dan and I were both as giddy as little kids after we landed, complete with jumping up and down and screaming. It was AWESOME. Nothing comes close, except probably falling in love. My only regret is that I didn't shell out the extra cash to get a video...Oh well, next time, I definitely will!
And now, onto pictures:
After the beach and Dan, this place is the best thing about Long Island.
A group coming back in after their jump.
Dan looking all serious. Or is that just nerves about jumping out of a plane?
Dan and I, with our instructors Willy and Dunk, and certificates saying we've successfully fallen 13,500 ft to earth and NOT DIED.
Oh yeah, we're badass.
In closing, everyone should do this. The end.
