We've been paused in Palm Coast, Florida for a week to visit friends and to bring our car down to the Keys so it will be waiting for us when we arrive there in another week or so.

Earlier this week the Space Shuttle Atlantis was scheduled to launch.  Our local friends suggested driving over to the beach to see it, and we were really glad we did!  It's just a thrill - so exciting to see such great human accomplishment.

It was a perfectly clear day, and we could see the separation of the two solid rocket boosters from the main shuttle.

It was over all too quickly, but left us feeling excited and very glad we took the time to go where we could see it best.  Godspeed Atlantis!
