Blast Off!!!

Tonight was the last night shuttle launch.  So Mr. E, Little Lion, and I decided to head over to Cocoa Beach to watch Endeavor blast off.  Mr. E has been going to shuttle launches since he was a little boy and has fond memories.  I never experienced one until meeting Mr. E and we usually go a couple times a year.  So of course Mr. E wants Little Lion to have the same great memories ;)  

This was our 2nd night launch.  These are the best to see since you get to see it go from pitch black into daylight for a few seconds.  It's amazing every time!   It's also fun because we park on the side of the road with LOTS of other people and everyone gets out of their cars and sits on the roof or walks to the water to get the best view.  We usually don't go to Shuttle launches even though they are 30 mins away because of traffic and timing, and we can see them from our back yard well.  However, tonight was perfect!  There was a full moon and the temperature was 80 degrees.  Plus it's always more fun to feel the blast and be around all the spectators.  I decided to take a video with Mr E's phone.  It only records 30 seconds hence the 2 videos ;)  It really doesn't do it justice!  Gotta love living in Florida :)
