Wonderful Adventure: Part One

Approximately a week prior to arriving in Houston, my boyfriend, Max, told me of a surprise (hahaha, I spelled it right!). The only information I received was to wear comfortable clothes (like workout attire) that I didn't mind getting wet in. The conditions I was told were possibly wet and windy. I was thinking paintball or slip'n'slide! hahaha. On Friday at lunch, Max informed me that we were to be skydiving! To say that I was thrilled would be an understatement! The weather was not looking good for us that Saturday morning when we arrived at the site. The sky was overcast and I was scared it was going to start to rain. Luckily for us, after about two hours of waiting the weather turned favorable and we suited up. Max and I were paired with experienced jumpers and given our "briefing". The plane took us to a height of 14,000 feet and we jumped fearlessly out of the plane! It was absolutely amazing. Free falling was really fun! We spun around and enjoyed the adrenaline rush. We fell a total of 8,000 ft before we used the parachute. After the parachute deployed, we gently glided down to the ground. All in all, it was spectacular and I want to do it again!!! The picture above is Max and I after our jump standing in front of the plane that took us up.

After our exhilirating morning, we went to a brewery for a tour. It was called St. Arnold's Brewery. For $5 a head, you receive a beer glass and four wooden tokens. A speech on the history of beer and the brewery was given and then we were let loose to enjoy the many beers available. Above is a photo of Max and me in front of the main bar. Jacque and Bryant met us there to partake in the festivities and we all had a great time! Yay!

More fun tales of Max and me coming soon!!!
