Had a fun News Years Eve!
Went to a dinner at the clubhouse and stayed for the dance. It was a DJ with music from the 40's to the 60's. Our kind of music. Those seniors sure know how to dance. Pretty fancy footwork.
New Years Day we went on a glider plane ride. Never done that before and it was so much fun. Just before we were finished, the pilot asked if we wanted him to do some aerobatics. Sure. He did some straight up and downs and 90 degree turns. Scared me to death, I was screaming the whole time. Denny was laughing. Scared me but I loved it. My stomach was in my feet.
We have added that to a few exciting but kind of dangerous things we have done in the past. We have river rafted class 4 & 5 rapids on the Frasier River in Canada, hot air ballooning in Snohomish, paragliding in Hawaii and did a zip line over the rain forest in Mexico. Denny has done a few things without me. He was a passenger in a WWII 2 seater bi-plane in Florida and another 2 seater WWII one wing plane in Arlington. My Dad had flown that same plane many times during the war. He went with us and had a great time talking to the owner. The owner really enjoyed talking with someone who had actually flown it during the war.
What a couple.
Before the flight, we didn't know what we were in for.
Tight Squeeze!
The button in the picture is what disconnects the glider to the plane flying us up. The pilot had Denny pull it.
The pilot pointing to a few things. We flew right next to that top peak. We flew at speeds of 70 to 100 miles MPH. We were at 3000 feet. It was a lot of fun.
