My knees have been a hindrance this week, which means I haven't taken any photos. So I've chosen a photo I took a few weeks ago when the Husband and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary. Our present to each other was a soaring adventure! We each experienced a whole ride to ourselves in the glider plane. It was a spectacular ride lasting about 35 or so minutes.
In case it's not clear, P is for plane — the towing plane (the one at the bottom in the photo) and glider plane. Heading into the sky is the Husband.
It was a whole lot of fun! Wheeeeeeeeeee!

the glider must be fun, did the other plane launch thee glider?
ReplyDeleteHi, Ann. Yes, the plane launched mine, too. I had to wait until the Husband came back.
DeleteYou 2 are braver souls than I. Were you the only ones in the glider...I'm thinking no but just asking. Happy belated wedding anniversary.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Birgit. The glider can only fit 2 very skinny, skinny passengers. Because the Husband and I are not, we opted to take separate trips. If we had gone up together, I don't know how the glider would've stayed up there. The pilot wasn't very skinny, skinny, either. lol
DeleteThey do soaring a but south of here.
ReplyDeleteThe gliders look so graceful in the air.
DeleteOh I would so do this!
ReplyDeleteYou go,Jackie!
DeleteWhat a fabulous adventure adn congrats on your 20 years being married
ReplyDeleteThanks, Margaret.
DeleteThe glider looks perfect - its long wings and light weight allows it to soar easily with the warm thermals propelling it up to the heads. Perfect look at the letter 'P'!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ralph. It's fun to imagine the glider riding the thermals like surfers riding the waves.
DeleteIt looks like a good experience but I think I'd prefer something with an engine in it :)
ReplyDeleteHeh, me too ... or at least something with the potential to become an engine. :)
DeleteLOL I didn't think about it not having an engine until after the flight. The landing was smooth.
DeleteReminded me of this song ... recorded waaaaay back in 1911! :)

I love the song! Thanks, Widders.
DeleteWow! Happy anniversary! Sorry to hear your knees are troubling you.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Patti.
DeleteI'm not so sure that would be fun to me. Although I overcame a fear of flying that might push me to the limit. I'm glad you had fun anyway. Congratulations and I hope your knees feel better.
ReplyDeleteWow, flying in a glider, that would be great fun! Congrats on 20 years, my hubby and I are coming up on 31. Hope the knees feel better.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your knees, arthritis is hard on a person. Both of us have som. Meloxicam to the rescue.
ReplyDelete..
That does sound like it would be a lot of fun! Bet it was beautiful. Sorry to hear the knees have been bothering. Hope they're better by now. Sorry I'm so late to get around visiting this week. I do appreciate your participation!
