Shuttle landing!

I am so excited....for the first time ever I got to watch the shuttle as it made it's way back to land at the Cape! we've seen it carried back on the Boeing jet Depending on the route it's taking...you can always hear the sonic boom (like a double boom from a large firework) BOOM BOOM....but I have never been able to SEE it....until today. it figures...there are only two launches left! But it was so exciting!...I looked out into the clear blue sky and I heard the booms and then I spotted it off in the distance....I knew it was the Shuttle because (for obvious reasons there wasn't going to be any other air traffic in the area!) It was heading north towards the cape then it looped around to the south...for a few minutes I thought hoped that maybe it was going to come directly over my house...hahaha...which it did not....but it was so cool! You will have to use your imagination to understand how exciting it was to see this little tiny thing off in the distance in my photo...hahaha...but it's there!
An it was really really cool...for lack of a better word!

Shuttle Fly By

Just rode the bike down to the beach to watch the Shuttle being flown back to the Cape. How cool! If they are forced to land the Shuttle at Edwards Air Force Base in CA...they have to fly the Shuttle back to FL on the back of a NASA jet (a very large NASA jet!). They usually fly up the coast so that everyone can watch them go by. It was exciting! I always seem to miss it...but this evening...I got a great view as it came in from the west just a bit north of Indialantic and turned out over the ocean and headed North to the Cape (about 40 miles from here). It's great to live on the "Space Coast"!
