Space Launch

When we arrived on Friday, we were excited to find out that the space ship Endeavour was going to have its final launch on Monday the 16th, so we decided to go. It meant that we had to wake up at 4:30 in the morning and sit around for three hours, but it was really cool.

 We watched the liftoff from Space view park and had a direct view to the shuttle, but it was a cloudy day, so we did not view it for that long.
 I bought Bryce a shirt with the mission logo on it, but it was an adult small, so he looks like he is in a dress.

It took thirty seconds for the sound of the launch to reach us, so the shuttle was gone by the time we heard it lift off, it was really interesting and cool to be a part of history.

That's cool that you got to see the shuttle launch. My family tried that when I was in middle school, and the launch kept getting delayed, and eventually, we ran out of days on our vacation and had to go home before it finally lifted off. =)
