Fun Times in Fla
We were near Jacksonville, Florida, for family vacation and a wedding, and we were on the beach and saw the shuttle take off from Cape Canaveral on July 4th. What we saw was very simliar to this photo:
We could see the flames shooting out the back and everything. People were all over the beach watching it and when it disappeared from view everyone cheered. It gave me the chills. I'm not one to feel too patriotic, but I did when I saw the shuttle take off. I thought that was a much better way for our country to celebrate the 4th instead of killing people, which is what the so-called patriotic government seems to enjoy year-round in the name of the USA. My feelings were bolstered even more when Pete told me that the first Iraqi astronaut is on board.* What a nice step toward resolving the conflict between our two nations!
When I have more pics to post and more time I will tell you about our trip which was FARKIN AWESOME!

sweet!!!
I think I need to tell my brother-in-law about the Boy Who Cried Wolf. This is way too many times he has tried to put one over on us.
I can't wait to hear more about your trip! :)
I have a picture very similar of that from my trip to Florida, but it was only a Delta 5 rocket, not the Space Shuttle! Bladio wins again!
