from 30,000 feet

So I'm back from the beach, it was fun, needed a recharge. 

In starting my week today I happened across this AMAZING article about 2 women, oh and a guy too, who parachuted Mt. Everest. 

Yes, I said MOUNT EVEREST! 
It break all kinds of records and has never been done before and a huge shout out to the ladies involved.

WOOHOO! HOLLY BUDGE!
WOOHOO! WENDY SMITH!

Just remember these two brave women the next time you hear someone make reference to throwing, running or screaming like a girl!

“It was amazing, just spectacular,” Holly Budge, 29, a Winchester-born extreme sports enthusiast, said after making a safe landing at a site 12,350 feet (3,765 metres) above sea level — the highest “drop zone” achieved by a parachutist. “We had one minute of freefall and while we were above the clouds you could see Everest and the other high mountains popping out of the top,” she said.
