Free Falling!

Ahhhhhhhh! What a surprise! 

The morning began with our goodbyes to the Flemings. We hit the road early because we had a 'BBQ' in Santa Barbara with a friend. When Jensen asked Jess for the address, she gave her an address in Lompok.... Jensen looked worried, and explained to Jess that Lombok is not a place you want to go for a BBQ. A bit later, Jensen ruined her own surprise by googling the address and finding out the location was actually a skydiving place! Jess had made up the BBQ to get Jensen to Lompok to take her skydiving! She was ecstatic and surprised. Not only had Jess gotten her a skydive, she had gotten her one at 18,000ft, the highest possible tandem jump! 
She even had to wear an oxygen mask on the plane--90 seconds of free fall! It was one of the most amazing experiences of her life. She had a great tandem partner that took her spinning and did awesome maneuvers. She could not wipe the smile off of her face. Thank you Jess :) 
After that rush we headed to Los Olivos for lunch and had delicious sandwiches. We stopped to see cute miniature horses. 
After that we headed to a winery in Solvang to visit Jensen's old friend, Casey. We had a tasting in a wine library; it was nice to get out of the sun. 
The drive to Casey's house in Santa Barbara was beautiful. We had to stop to admire the view and listen to some great music. 
Our bodies are beginning to wear out, so we opted out of a big night and instead had a nice dinner followed by a cuddle with the house puppies :)

  1. Jess finds dogs to cuddle with wherever she goes. So I take it she didn't join you for the death jump??
