PhotoHunt Theme: High

The theme this week is "high" and I went on my first (and only) helicopter ride on the 1st of July, 2006. I found myself high up in the air over St. Louis! I am pretty much afraid of flying in any big commercial plane so this really was a huge event for me to fly in a helicopter.

By myself.

I had gone down to the Fair St. Louis and they were taking people up for helicopter rides so I nervously bought my ticket and actually went for a helicopter ride. As luck would have it, I even got to sit right next to the pilot in the front left seat of the helicopter.
I couldn't wait to show my husband the pictures of what I had done!

Had I not taken pictures,
no one would have believed that I would have done this!

Of course, St. Louis is home to Anheuser Busch so we did fly over the Budweiser building!
