Glider ride

[ebsoria]

If any of you get a chance, do it!!

Here's what's up... yesterday, the wifey took me as part of my birthday weekend to Williams, Ca. We got into a glider and pulled to 3k feet. The pilot let go and..... WOW!! That was so much fun!!!! Wife and I were in the back all snuggled close as the pilot soared around. At one point he dives a few hundred feet then pulls back so the glider shoots back up. Hit a couple thermal pockets that kept us in the air, all total, about 30 minutes. SO MUCH FUN!!!!
