Spur of the moment...
"Honey...don't you want to take a ride to see the shuttle?"
"Aren't you going to the gym?"
"Not if we go see the shuttle!":)
So we did...FOUR times!
(Taken through back side tinted window!)
The first time we are in traffic trying to find a place to park....there it goes behind us doing it's first flyover Dulles Airport!! Freaking Awesome!!
We listened to the radio for frequent updates and knew when it finished flying over Washington, DC several times and was heading back...
Second time better view! Picture isn't so good because I'm trying to live in the moment...and take a picture!:)
We should have realized there was going to be another flyover since the landing gear wasn't down....many minutes later...seemed like forever...
...Oh....my....gosh! Third time it was really hard to take pictures ...
...I just couldn't get over we were seeing this...
....unfreaking believable! End of show...so we thought! Decided to avoid all the traffic and take the scenic way home...not realizing we'd be able to see the west side of the airport and runway...
...yep....the forth time...there she is resting comfortably....soaking in her last successful voyage.
(The end of a perfect morning...a berry smootie!)Welcome home Discovery....we'll come visit real soon!
