I-Fly

Jon, Julie, Julie, & Danny

Have you ever heard of I-Fly?  Dont' worry neither had I. Ha!   I have wanted to go sky diving for quite some time now and begging my husband.  But my love, the diver, has a fear of heights, so no jumping out of a plane for us!  So while we were away he planned for us to do this indoor skydiving experience.  It was over the top, we had a blast.  I have never experienced anything like.

 Although I didn't get that stomach drop feeling which is so thrilling ,it was still awesome.  To be able to fly, wow!  I was amazed at how just positioning your head a certain way will change the way you fly and the movement of your arms and legs the same. 

It was different then I had expected too.  I thought we would all go into a room and fly together  and bounce off sponge-like walls and floors! Ha! So wrong! Ha!  The walls were clear like thick glass and would hurt if you ran into them.  The floor was an open padded crate with a huge fan, let me say it again huge fan blowing air up into this tunnel that was like 30 feet high!  Very different!

I would do it again definitely, and I would still like to do the real thing, actually probably more then before!  I am sure my husband will love my push for that!  Something about the air is so intriguing to me. My bucket list includes; pilots license, skydiving, hot air balloon ride... time to tick the boxes!

Late Nights with MadMen

My current favorite series is MadMen.  I am completely into the storyline.  I am catching up with past seasons to get current.  Each night I go to bed and put in an episode, it's fabulous, I am addicted! Ha! I am enthralled with the shenanigans Don Draper gets himself into.  I love the fashion of the era;  Joan, love her! Ha!The women are beautiful and the men are handsome-don't miss out!  Trust me, really it's just that good, especially after a long day!  All the characters just interact so well together, there really isn' that on the edge, what is going to happen drama, but it is soooo good!

AMC has some good shows, my husband is really into Breaking Bad and that too is on AMC and is pretty good as well.  It's amazing how addicting TV can be, isn't it?  And DVR, don't even get me started, it's the only way I watch anything anymore, sad really! Ha!

San Francisco Dreamin'

Tick the Box, check, Golden Gate Bridge

So while I was out, I was in California!  Love it!  Danny and I went to San Francisco, I'd never been, and it was fabulous!  I loved it!   We spent the 4th at Fisherman's Wharf, it was wicked crowded but great fun!

 San Francisco was a lot different then what I had imagined.  I thought it had a very old world feel, not so much when I was inland, but we did this boat ride in the bay and when I looked at the skyline it definitely had that feel.  I was surprised many of the sights, Golden Gate Bridge, Sausilito, Angel Island, Muir Woods, Alcatraz... were all right there, centralized almost.  I loved the architecture of the homes, the rolling streets, and of course the cable cars!  Although, we didn't get a chance to ride one.  The city just had so much to offer! 

Yes, we were in Jail, but now we are out!

Happy Bankerts, San Francisco Style!

One of my favorite shows, Charmed, yes I still watch the reruns, was based in San Francisco, so every time it is on the opening scenes are from San Francisco and I am always excited to see Ghirardelli Square and the bridge! Ahh, Ive been there! Ha!  We had Hot Choc late from Ghirardelli, delish!   It was much cooler then I was prepared for.  Danny loved it when I told him I had to stop in this little shop and buy leggings to put on under my shorts.  Not the greatest fashion statement, but it fit in there, so it was fine- and hey I was cold! "Thermocomfort" first!

Ghirardelli Square

Architecture + Elegance = CHIC, Loved it!
