iFly part 2

A breakdown of the adventure:

We all arrive at DW's house at 8am. We jump into his car and drive for like an hour and a half. He is not telling us where we are going. We are all watching his GPS and trying to guess. (I am secretly hoping it's not Six Flags because I would vomit everywhere.) We finally pull into Universal Studios parking and he informs the parking attendant that we're not going to the theme park, we're going to City Walk. We are still confused. We get out of the car and walk around a bit. He says we're still early, so we all grab coffee. Then, when the time is right, we keep walking and stop in front of iFly. It's an indoor skydiving simulator - basically, a giant vertical wind tunnel. We freak out - so awesome!
We took a little training class, then suited up - suit, helmet, eyegear, earplugs. Each of us got two 1-minute flights. The first time, we each really just learn how to do it. The instructor is in there the whole time and makes small adjustments to your arms and legs and you just relax and float and feel your cheeks vibrate. The second time, we each felt way more at ease, the time went by too fast, and at the end of each of our minutes the instructor grabbed hold and took each of us higher up in the tunnel. It was such a blast! We'll have to go back.

Mystery solved. Totally did it. More details to come.

Mystery Staff Meeting

So, our staff has a new boss. And he's pretty cool. I've decided to call him DW. But we don't know him super well yet... To be honest, the rest of us have all been working together for a year and don't really know each other super well yet either. So, Cool New Boss, DW, is taking us on a mysterious adventure on Friday to get to know us... And I am SO excited! I literally can't wait! We just got instructions to be at DW's house by 8:00am, wear comfortable clothes and tennis shoes, and he'll have us back by 2:00pm... SO EXCITING! I'll let you know what happens.

Oh my gosh... I'm so excited, I can't stand it. I'm contemplating attending another midnight showing.

Chocolate Bunnies

Besides the whole Jesus dying on the cross for my sins and rising from the dead thing, chocolate bunnies are the best part of Easter. I like the hollow ones. And, yes, the ears are the first thing to go.
