I Fly Utah

While in Utah, we were really taken and amazed by the natural environment. However, it wasn't the only thing that amazed us. We were lucky to get a couple of passes comped by the city of Ogden to I Fly, an indoor sky diving experience.



I know what you are thinking after seeing that picture, "How did a girl like that end up with Mr. Potato head?" Well...I guess I just got lucky.

After a little instruction, we enter the wind tunnel area and waited our turn. The wind tunnel shoots air straight up at about 100 mph (depending on the sky diver's weight). Jen went first and made it look too easy. Here she is floating about 10 feet in the air.



I went next and after a little help from the instructor, I was floating on air. So cool. I was a bit nervous at first, but that immediately went away after the instructor helped me with my position. I tried to give the thumbs up for this picture, but even that subtle little hand change dropped me out of the air.



We each got two turns in the tunnel. On the second run it was easier to get situated and then a professional instructor came in and floated us up about 20 feet. We went up and down like a yo yo. In the end, it was quite a bit of time for 2 minutes of floating, but it was worth it. Certainly one of my favorite things I've ever done.
