I was so excited when I heard the space shuttle Endeavour was coming to L.A. We are directly in the landing path to LAX so I was confident we would get to see it. My kids were taking a test and I was following posts on twitter trying to keep track of it. My kids finished their test 2 minutes after I saw that Endeavour was over Santa Monica so we ran out and got a quick glimpse of it. I knew it would still come back to land so we stayed out an extra 10 minutes over lunch and boy did we get a great show. Endeavour and 2 fighter jets accompanying flew directly over us. My kids were all screaming, waving and clapping. Numerous kids screamed "We just watched history." They sure know how to make this history teacher's heart happy.
We are so excited to take the kids to the Science Center for a field trip later this year. They will get to see it up close after getting to see its last flight.
