Three years ago, the Asheville community was all abuzz about a coming attraction, and it was NOT the impending arrival of our Max and Theo. Navitat, a zip lining company (or "tree-based adventure company" as they like to call themselves), was opening in the mountains. It was the areas hottest ticket. Everyone was doing it. Everyone was raving. Everyone except Jeremy and me.

Bad timing on our part, huh? We had been traveling down to Asheville for the last five years, and they decide to open this place when I am 200 pounds and pregnant with twins. Way to throw the whole life change thing in my face.

Anyway, the topic kept coming up over the last two years and I seriously considered it each and every time we visited. The hassle of arranging to be away from twin infants was just always a little too much of a hurdle for me. Next time, I would promise myself.

That is...until THIS TIME!!! Because I am now a mother of toddlers and I am capable of anything. No more "Ohhh, babies, how can I possibly leave you for even a precious moment?" Now its "There is milk in the fridge, peanut butter in the cabinet, and the rest you can figure out!" The boys (and that includes my husband) have no problem fending for themselves in my absence, and I am determined to make the most of this.

My sister and I headed out with a couple of our friends, and the payoff for this particular event was huge. I had never zip lined before, so I was certainly excited, but I honestly did not think I would have as much fun as I did. Once you got over thinking so much--how should I hold my feet, where do my hands go, when do I brake, should I break now, now, how about now--




it was just breath-taking and exhilarating.  I basically want to go zip lining again and again and again. Not so easy of a hobby to indulge unfortunately.

Navitat is running a first-class operation down there in North Carolina.  The two guides for our group were friendly and good-humored, striking just the right balance between educating us and letting us just enjoy the experience.

In between the zip lines, they had charming diversions like a rope swing, a rope ladder, and a couple of repelling points. The guides also tried to incorporate regional history and botany...again, just enough to be interesting without being overbearing.

What is the best news? They say that a course is coming to our neck of the woods soon and very soon. Our guides told us that they would be opening a Navitat in the Jim Thorpe area of the Poconos, a favorite weekend destination for our family.

To say that I am excited would be an understatement. By then the boys will be even older and even more capable of watching their father for extended periods of time. Possibilities expand before my eyes.
