Launch

As promised, we went up to Cocoa Beach last night to watch what very well could be the last night launch of one of the space shuttles. It was absolutely spectacular. Our camera honestly doesn't do any justice to how amazing it really is. The whole night lights up like the middle of the day. And the people are so excited! Everyone hoots and hollers and stands there until you can't see anything anymore, which can take awhile at night.

Noah got to come to his first launch as well. He loved being out on the beach with everyone and was in a great mood, laughing and making tons of noise. It's great that some day we'll be able to tell him he was there, too!

Alright, tons to do here today before we leave for the concert. We're going to Orlando so it'll be late before we get back, so I'll try to post any pictures tomorrow. Happy weekend!
