#34: Go ziplining

My brother was planning a Vegas vacation for his bachelor/ bachelorette party, and the whole family was going. As the best man, it was my duty to find something memorable that we could all participate in. What I found was Bootleg Canyons ziplining adventures.

The day was a blast from the get go. The guides packed everyone into two mini vans, and proceeded to peel out of the parking lot, and race each other up the windy, narrow mountain road. My heart was racing and I was still in the car.

Once we stopped the car we still had a short hike we had to make on foot until we reached the zipline. Standing on the zipline platform, and seeing what I was about to do was dizzying. Suddenly I felt like maybe this was too much, maybe I just ruined everyone's day. Once I was strapped in I waited for the countdown to take off, next thing I know I was cruising down the zipline, "this isn't so bad" I thought.

The day turned out to be a total blast. The ziplining was the perfect amount of scary, and the scenery was gorgeous. It was the perfect activity for the family to do together...who would have thought?
