December 11th - Space Shuttle Endeavour

Today we were incredibly fortunate to see the Space Shuttle Endeavour on the back of the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft do a few fly-bys over the Clear Lake area. It flew (with T-38 photo chase) over Johnson Space Center and Ellington Field. What a thrill! It was beautiful!

Even the kids watched from school. The first thing Jack said to me when I picked him up was, "I saw the Space Shuttle today!" He was so excited. The day started with playing in the snow, then his room watched Frosty the Snowman, and then after lunch they watched the Endeavour fly over. I asked Jack if it flew right over his head. He said, "No, it flew over Nona's head."

Many thanks to the NASA photographers for the great pictures - including Robert Markowitz in the backseat of the T-38 who took the pictures over Ellington and JSC.
