Yesterday was a very busy day. I left the house at 6am to go with Sue to drop Amanda off for her HS graduation. The graduation was at UCF, about an hours drive from here. Then we waited around for every one else to show up and the graduation was at 9. I was home about 1 and then left shortly after 2 to go to the shuttle launch. This was my first time seeing it from other than my neighborhood and it was wonderful! Eric drove while Adri, Gabe and I just goofed around. I guess the drive is pretty stressful as you are on the road with thousands of other shuttle watcher hopefuls. We found a great space off the road and the view was perfect. I am going to just put 1 pic on here and will try and get the better shots (I took like 100! (maybe even 200)) onto phanfare in the next few days. I was really happy we did this. As it turned out there were major clouds between my house and the launch and Rick wasn't able to see it at all!
