Blast off!!! Today we got to see the space shuttle launch at 11:38 am as planned. We arrived 4 hours early just to get a spot and it’s a good thing we got one since the lady nearby was frustrated that the folks in the front weren’t sitting down at the time of the launch. The shuttle packs a powerful punch, and from where we were (about 11 miles away), the sound was pretty incredible. It was delayed about 50 seconds because of the distance, but still pretty neat. Levi took a pretty neat picture that I have placed to the right. In fact, he actually snapped a picture when the booster rockets came off, which was totally unplanned. We met with a family from our church in Winchester so it was nice to share the experience with someone we knew. After the launch we just chilled out at the campground and spent some time in the pool.
