Up Up and Away!

I've been on some pretty cool dates in my time... but my most recent one was definitely tops! He took me for a ride in a helicopter! It was the most insane sensation, completely different from a plane. We stayed at about 500 feet, so you could see EVERYTHING. All the little grids that make up good old Mesa, the brown spaces with some green here and there, it was the ultimate!I asked the pilot to fly over my house, it was the highlight of my already fantastic morning! I called my mom and told her I was flying right above the house, the family all came out into the backyard... they were so little! Tiny little pip-squeaks down below!
Our pilot was a character... a worldly 28 year old. The kind of fellow who has been everywhere and done just about everything. Rock climbing, skydiving, snowboarding, backpacking through Europe the guy's seen it all! And flying choppers is his type of spiritual outlet. He reminded me of Sawyer from Lost... always calling me "Princess" or "Buttercup"! We flew over the Salt River! You can see all of the tubers, they are so little!
