Last week we got a taste of what it feels like to skydive without having to get on a plane and jump out! We went to Vegas Indoor Skydiving where indoor skydiving all began. It was the first wind tunnel in the US that was open to the public and has been around since 1982.
This was such a fun and unique experience. I ended up being the best of our group! I’m gloating because I’m usually the uncoordinated one that takes the longest to get the hang of anything, but on my second flight, the instructor even flew up with me! We both got some decent flights, and Jacob was tossed like a pizza a couple times. It was also cool to see that they’ve had all sorts of celebrities come in to fly with them like Leonardo Dicaprio, Jonas Brothers, Celine Dion, and more.
