Since we moved to Wisconsin, we have made a tradition of going to the Jimmy Buffett concert at Alpine Valley every August with a growing number of friends and family (mostly pilot friends). As painful as it is to think about, it is indeed a "so long to summer" for those of us living this far north. Darla and I went in 2012 and were blown away by the circus atmosphere that follows Jimmy Buffett around on his summer tours. In 2013, we invited her sister to come and she loved it too. In 2014, we barely made the show as family commitments had us tied up until the last minute. This year, I was determined to "go a little bigger" than ever before. I thought it would be fun to skydive then head to the Buffett festivities early. I didn't have many takers on that action but I planned it anyways. When Friday afternoon at the DZ came, I was surprised to find out the plane was going to 18000 feet, with me in it!! Of course I had to film the whole event with my go pro and it was absolutely amazing. Here is the link to the skydive video.. Skydive Milwaukee from 18000 feet
If you have never seen a JB show, drop what you are doing, find a show near you and get there! It's really more about the tailgating party that happens beforehand, at least in Wisconsin. It's a lot of fun to people watch and in general just a great time. It does make for a long day so bring food, water, games and whatever else you think may be fun for you and your fellow tailgaters to do!!! I had the go pro on hand so this is what the pre concert festivities look like.. Jimmy Buffett Alpine Valley 2015
Enjoy the rest of your summer!!!
