2021 – Skydiving in Orange, Virginia

Just dropping in to say hello from 14,000 feet above Orange County, Virginia, and quickly approaching Earth at 120 mph at 23 degrees in early June! It was exhilarating at 2 1/2 miles up, free falling for about a minute before deploying the parachute for the last mile. This is what my oldest daughter wanted for her birthday, but it felt like my birthday! Happy Birthday to me, I mean to her!

Skydiving has never really been something I wanted to do. Not that I was scared, but it just never appealed to me. My daughter has asked me to go several times, and I finally said yes. I am glad I did, because it was a thrill falling out of that plane.
