Houston has the perfect Fall weather to go skydiving.  A group of us decided one Saturday morning to face our fear of skydiving - head on! 

 

The weather was perfect!

 

The skydive itself was amazing!  I was really suprised that there was no sense of falling, or your stomach coming up into your mouth; I read later, that because the plane is flying at approx 120mph, and you jump out of the plane and immediately start free-falling at the same speed it equals itself out.

 

Enjoy the video.  If you have an inclination to go jump - do it!  It is one less thing on my "Bucket List."
