On Thursday while we were in Puerto Rico we spent the morning going to zipline! We did "The Monster" (which if anyone watches Jimmy Fallon - he did a segment on it). It is the longest zipline in the Americas and the 2nd longest in the world! The cable cord is 1.57 miles long, you reach the speed of 95 mph and its over 1250 feet high. I can't believe I did it, but it was awesome.
We had to go up to the 3rd floor to get suited up.

Here we go. Now to cross that suspension bridge and climb up 5 more flights of stairs to get to our platform.
I asked to go first! I was glad they have to let you go and I wasn't in charge of jumping or pulling a cord or anything.
Next was Ben's turn (they let him go like 10 seconds after me)
The worst part for me was lifting my hands up off the platform. All you could see what the fall to the parking lot below.
He's off!
Even though he stated after he ended up passing me on the way down :)
Ahhh we made it!
Getting ready to get on the pick up truck to head back
We conquered the Monster!!
