Endeavour

 

The space shuttle Endeavour landed in California on Friday and I was completely intrigued by it all. I attempted to follow it on Twitter as it toured various landmarks in California. I was hoping to get a glimpse but unfortunately, it didn't make it's way towards Irvine. I was excited to learn that Peyton got a chance to see it fly by when she was at school. My mother in law got to see it as well. I searched the internet and found all these photos. I know, I'm a dork but I think it's all so cool and amazing.

Beginning Oct. 30, the shuttle will be on display in the California Science center's Samuel Oschin Space Shuttle Endeavour Display Pavilion, embarking on its new mission to commemorate past achievements in space and educate and inspire future generations of explorers.}
