What better way to spend July 4th than watching the shuttle launch in Florida! I went home (to the Cape Canaveral area) for the week to spend time with my family, and as a bonus was able to experience another successful launch. No matter if you support the space program or not, didn’t you feel incredibly patriotic as you heard the words “”and we have lift off.....” and watched the shuttle head into the clouds? Traveling on the 4th of July was incredibly stressful, with all the added security that we have in place now. Do you remember when taking a trip by plane meant just waltzing into the terminal and onto the airplane, with no checking of anything? How our world has changed! Anyway, Happy 4th of July and God Bless the USA!
