WE SAW THE ENDEAVOUR FLY OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA : WE BROKE OUT IN (PATRIOTIC) CHIILLS!

FOX NEWS : MOVING THE SPACE SHUTTLE ENDEAVOUR

Friends, we felt so fortunate to be able to skip out around lunch time to join the thousands who were watching Southern California skys for the fly over of the SPACE SHUTTLE ENDEAVOUR, which is now going to begin it's slow move through the streets to the CALFORNIA SCIENCE CENTER where it will be on permanent display. 

It will arrive at the California Science Center, in the evening on October 13, 2012.

"This is set to be the first, last and only time a NASA space shuttle will travel through urban, public city streets."


From our viewpoint we thought we saw a high flying plane going from north to south about an hour before we expected the shuttle, and that might have been it way high up, but when a friend reminded us of the route and the promised fly over points, we stayed where we were, near a school.
It was so exciting to see the shuttle atop another plane and the companion fighter jets all flying flying so low, and when the kids saw it we could hear them yelling!  Smart teachers making this historic event part of their civics class!
