Endeavour

Today at 9am, my family and I went to go see the space shuttle Endeavour. The drive wasn't too bad and the temperature was actually quite nice. We waited, patiently, patiently, and then impatiently the more we received updates of its location. We were at JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) because we knew they were going to do a low and slow fly by as respect to a fellow NASA field center. It was absolutely graceful. Escorted by two F18 escort jets, it passed RIGHT over our heads and gracefully banked to the South.

Here's some pictures my aunt and I took, they're a bit zoomed in so the quality isn't as great.
