After a long bus ride home tonight, we hopped in the pool. The pool is wonderful here, and it feels so good to float around after being on your feet alllll day!
time to catch up on friends, the internet is sporadic during peak hours so when it's good, it's hard to stop!
I found out that you can see Wishes from the hotel! Not like a Disney hotel but still pretty good!
it was a tough decision, right up til 10PM when the bus left for Kennedy Space Center I thot about going to the shuttle launch, probably a once in a life time event, especially now, that the shuttle program is coming to an end. But it was hard to spend our last day, ( and dollars ) on a "not sure" thing. We watched the last shuttle launch on TV and the time before it flew, the launch was scrubbed minutes before, so we decided against going. We did however set the alarm for 1:20 am so we could see it from the hotel, the sky lights up so much they said, that we'd be able to see it. But, when we got out there, we saw weird flashes above where the shuttle was to launch? I didn't think it was lightening because they looked red, we waited out side 20 mnutes past the time it was supposed to go up, just in case... but we gave up. At 1:20am the launch was scrubbed due to weather, AKA the lightening that we watch every night. I checked the web site at 1:20 before I woke Maddie up, and it got scrubbed moments after the door closed behind us. Well, I'm glad we weren't there, but too bad for everyone involved. Conditions just did not improve with enough time to continue the countdown. The launch team is setting up for a 24-hour scrub turnaround. Launch is scheduled for 1:10 a.m. Wednesday.
