Shuttle Atlantis Lands Piggyback


Yesterday we went to eat dinner at Coconuts on the Beach. You've been there if you've visited us, it's where we take all our guests. Mostly the food is ehh, but the sweet potato fries are awesome! Anyway, we went to see the space shuttle Atlantis fly past us piggy back on an airplane. Jack and I saw the last one a couple months ago and everyone said that THAT was the last one. Now, THIS is the last one. Really.

At first the plane is pretty far offshore, but then it makes a steep left turn towards the shoreline and rides there the rest of way up the Space Coast. You can see all the lettering on the space shuttle even with your naked eye. Pretty cool and I'm not even into space stuff!

I took Jack home and put him right to bed as it was past his bedtime. Matt didn't come home for another hour... I was thinking, okay it doesn't take that long to finish a beer and perhaps order another one. I was starting to get a little worried so I called. Apparently, someone had said something "disparaging" about space exploration and Matt felt it was his duty to defend it. Whatev.

Neat! Jack is a lucky kid.

Also, I find it very hard to read your gray on black blog.
