Looks like our Pgh mom-blogger could segway a bit more into “adventure vlogging”…

Speaking of which, I just passed a group of tourists on Segways, cruising the sidewalks of downtown Pittsburgh today…that could be your next “adventure date” cum video camera!

Watching you two fall out of the plane gave me goosebumps all over my arms. That looked WILD!

Goodness, I need to do crazy things more often — look at all of these comments and compliments!

I’m glad you enjoyed living through my experience and thank you for the nice (but totally unnecessary) things you wrote about my bravery — or questionable state of mind. It’s funny, I’ve watched the video several times now and each time I see the plane becoming so tiny in the sky SO FAST after we jump, I think “What the F**K was I thinking?!”

As I wrote above, I’d probably do another tandem sometime if the opportunity presented itself, but I certainly have NO desire to do a solo jump. I’m not a thrill seeker, but I guess the next “thrilling” activity I might try would be white water rafting; I did that once years ago and would like to do that again. Other than that, reading a book or going to the beach sounds pretty thrilling right now!

PS. As for the “I’d pee/poop my pants if I did that” comments — why do you think I went to the bathroom so many times before we went up?! If nothing else, I tried to plan ahead for a dry landing!

This is so COOL! I had always been wanting to do this, and perhaps I am going to soon

Thanks for sharing!

WOW! that was COOL! You are a superstar. I bet the kids really got a kick out of it (and they will be telling all kinds of stories to their friends – you are now the COOL mom!)

hehe … I’m so much the super duper mean mom right about now.

hey … know anyone looking for a kitty (OR TWO)?

Wow! I am impressed that you took that step (or push) out of the airplane! Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Maybe one of these days I’ll go with the group of crazy skydivers that I know … doubtful, but maybe
