We spent a wonderful weekend at the fully enclosed, Skyventure Wind Tunnel in New Hampshire. It is located at 3 Poisson Ave in Nashua, NH. It is about a six hour drive from Hazleton, only four and a half hours for our New Jersey/New York skydiving contingent. This year we booked three half hour time slots 5:30, 9 and 9:30pm, but they were running between a half hour and forty minutes behind schedule. We took the time between time spots to have a nice meal at the Longhorn Steakhouse. Thanks to Barbara and Teresa for all of the help making the arrangements.
This year we had Nick, Carol, Frankie, Andrew, Vinnie, Barb, Gina, Teresa, Bill and Rusty to share those blocks of tunnel time, which gave each person about 10.5 minutes. Don and I came along as film crew and babysitter during the tunnel time.

Sorry you're blurry - I had the flash off and it didn't work. |
I got it clear for this one, sorry Bill. |

Carol and Nick look forward to going back into the tunnel for the second session (as does Frankie, but I didn't manage to get him into this picture). |

| Ok this has nothing to do with the wind tunnel, but I sure do love my husband, and he makes it obvious that he feels the same way about me! Love you Don! | Another non-tunnel picture but what a beautiful sunrise. The kind that I'd love to be in the sky enjoying. |
