In the meantime.....


Ok, so while all the "baby stuff" was going on, I was on a business trip to Florida. I know you are all feeling so bad for me right now, right? Just remember it was to Ft. Lauderdale during spring break. yeah, not as much fun now that I am "old". Anyway, I decided to meet another co-worker of mine down there a few days early and see the sights of Florida. I got the chance to visit my grandparents. That was a great thing. I haven't been to their house since their 50th Anniversary (about 14 years ago). That time Cathy had gone with me. Remember that one, Cath? Anyway, I got the chance to see them and the house again. It was fun. We left there and headed for Kennedy Space Center. I was fortunate enough to get tickets to the Shuttle Launch (STS-123) at the Space center. We were right on the grounds. The launch was very late at night (or early in the morning). We got there around 830pm and the launch was at 223am. Yikes, it was a long night. Below are some videos I took of the launch. Enjoy!


By the time we got back to the hotel it was after 5am and check out was at 12pm. What a night. Then it was time to head to the conference. Not much I can say about it. The weather was nice. Well, hope everyone is doing good. take care!

I sure do remember going to Florida. I still have pictures from then and it's crazy to go back and look at them. I remember a lot about it. The sunrise service we went to and going to find the place where my parents used to live, and of course going to Disney World. Fun trip!

So, how cool was it that you were that close to a shuttle launch. I can't believe it wasn't louder in the video. Did you feel the ground shake or anything?
