Up in the Air

Brandon wanted "an adventure" for his 30th Birthday...so, I got him a gift certificate to go Hang Gliding. He has tried to go 3 times..but it had to be cancelled due to the weather--and of course you don't want to take any chances with the weather when you are up in the air in a glider at the mercy of the wind! Well, the gift certificate was only good for 2 years and would expire this November--so, we had to get to Chattanooga to make it happen.

The Hang Gliding company is located on Lookout Mountain

There are different ways to take off when hang gliding--- some people run off of this ramp at the top of the mountain!!!

The hang gliders ready for flight

Brandon got to take off by being pulled up by a plane to 4300 feet and then released!!!!

This is a picture of Brandon's glider (yellow and white) being pulled with a rope by the plane!

Beautiful Views!!

Milla, Hank, and I got to watch all the excitement from the field!

An added bonus to our trip was that we got to stay with Lana, Ben, and Samuel.
This is a picture of us trying to teach Samuel and Milla "If you're happy and you know it clap your hands"

Even if they aren't clapping...I think they are HAPPY...and they know it!!!
