And....Liftoff!

We Have Liftoff!
Got to see my first launch tonight and it was very, very cool -- from the fiery takeoff to the loud rumble about a minute later. Plus, the sandwiches at our picnic were pretty darn good, too. Not to mention the jelly beans.

How cool is that!
ReplyDeleteI know what you meant about Paris. I went when I was 19 for 3 days and it felt like I was just ticking off a list of things to see, rushing around. I didn't appreciate it then, not like now. Hope you can go again one day.
So very cool.....I did a tour once, but I've never seen a lift off...
ReplyDeleteA launch and jellybeans, what could be better?
