This is me, two days ago. Wheeeee

Sometimes, you just have to take a break, take a risk, and go on an adventure.

Visiting my daughter and her family, we were fortunate to get a last-minute reservation for ziplining in Redwood country.

You can be sure; I was very mindful regarding every instruction offered and every takeoff and reentry.
