Yesterday’s helicopter ride was such an amazing experience! I gave it to my boyfriend for his birthday, and we’ve both been so excited about it ever since. I was a helicopter virgin, and my boyfriend had already done it in the army, so I think I was a tad more excited. And man, what a cool invention a helicopter is!

I thought I’d be freaked out, but I actually didn’t find it scary at all. After the sunset safari I told you about last week, where the car we sat in flew off of a cliff, it’s gonna take more than a helicopter ride to make my knees shake. I’ll tell you this though, this is definitely not for those of you who are scared of heights! It was like sitting in a glass bubble far above the ground, and when the helicopter turned it would definitely have made me pee my pants (skirt) if it hadn’t been for the car flying I’d already experienced.

The first thing we flew by was Hoover Dam, which we visited last week. It was so fun to see it from the air!

After flying over desert, desert and more desert, we arrived in Grand Canyon, where we descended and enjoyed champagne and a yummy lunch. Now I’ve seen Grand Canyon from the bottom up too, so fun!

We’re doing so many fun things on this trip that I almost can’t keep track! This one will definitely go into the memory books though, so freakin’ fun! I can’t recommend it enough if you’re ever in the Vegas area, but remember that it’s no piece of cake if you’re afraid of heights. The other two women in the chopper sat prepared with barf bags by their mouths the whole ride.. I, on the other hand, sat there with the most excited smile on my face ever!

Today this is where we’re spending the day (sing ‘on the road again’ in your head now). I love the roads in the US, everything is just straight, so I can read my Cosmopolitan, Elle and Vogue without getting carsick. Yay!
