One of many great things about being back in central Florida instead of SE Pennsylvania is the proximity to Kennedy Space Center. With the Space Shuttle program wrapping up soon (only a few more launches!) we decided yesterday was a good chance to catch a launch.
So off to Cape Canaveral we went!
We were the second-to-last car allowed into the Jetty Park parking lot (if you don’t make it into that lot, it’s a looooong walk) and found a great little patch of grass to set out a blanket and baby on and chill as a family. Since it was an early afternoon launch, afterwards we stuck around the park for awhile and went for a nice walk on the beach. This had the added bonus of allowing the murderous post-launch traffic to die out some.
Hooray for spontaneous jaunts and close proximity!
