It never gets old. Today Reese, Erik and I watched the Space Shuttle Atlantis go up. It was such a beautiful day and the launch was right on time. We went to a marina next to where Reese used to play softball (they are bulldozing it to build condos) and watched it from the end of a pier. SO cool.
I'm not sure how clear these will come through on my blog, but on my computer in my picture file, it's so clear you can see the orbiter and the big, red external fuel tank. Maybe if you click on the picture and it gets big, you can see it.

Erik and I enjoyed some quiet time sitting on one of the piers. He had such fun looking at the water below - I wished I had something to let him throw in, like bread crumbs or rocks!! Next time.

For two days, now, our area has been stuck to the radio and TV waiting for the new Ares 1 rocket to go up from the Kennedy Space Center. Delay after delay after delay has frustrated all of us here (and many tourists from there) but finally, Ares 1 went up!! I was on my way between patients' houses and just happened to be by the water where the best views were at the right time!

Ahhh... I just love living here!! What fun!!
