Skydiving was awesome! I went Saturday morning, in a late celebration of my 25th birthday, and I’m sooo glad I fulfilled this lifelong dream. The only scary part was standing at the doorway of the plane, waiting to jump out. I kept thinking, “just jump, just go, just go”. After that it was AMAZING! Not like falling at all, but like flying! It was ridiculously cool! You can check out my photos on Flickr if you’re so inclined.
Thinking of my flight made me want to search Etsy to see if I could find any cool skydiving related goodies. What I found and fell in love with was this amazing steampunk inspired leather aviator hat and freaking awesome handmade aviator goggles!

It’s a joy to find yourself called “freaking awesome”. Thanks for the mention!
Oh my! First, happy belated birthday! How cool that you went skydiving! I’ve always wanted to do it, but I’m too much of a chicken.
Thanks ClinkscalesArts! If you’ve always wanted to do it, you really should. Get a friend to go with you so you have someone to share it with and make it not as scary! Really, the only scary part is standing at the door of the plane waiting to jump, but since a first jump is almost always tandem, the tandem instructor can take care of moving things along and making sure you don’t chicken out. It’s worth it!
