LIFT OFF!

The weather was perfect for a launch! I so enjoyed hanging out with the Chaplain before the launch. Our small group actually stayed in the MCR (Mission Control Room) until about 4 minutes before the launch then we quickly made our way to the upper deck of the patio area for the outdoor viewing. It was really neat and great to get to watch it travel all the way across the sky! We then went back inside to watch the replays from the launch pad view cam...way cool, to see that!

Up and Away

Traveling across the sky!

So very neat to see and since it was only my second one the "ahhh" factor is definitely still there! Totally, totally cool :)
