I honestly didn't even know what the Endeavor was or that it was flying over my house until I saw a post about it on facebook last night. I considered taking the kids to a good viewing area but knew those places would be crazy crowded. Being that it was supposed to fly over at 9am, we chose to stay home and I was banking on the fact that our house in a flight path.
At 9am I took the kids out into the backyard (several of us still in our jammies) to watch for the 'spaceship'. We had cameras ready and after about 20 minutes we finally gave up. I guessed wrong.
Just before 10am I saw a post of facebook about Endeavor being in a neighboring town, then I heard the very loud engines. I rushed all the kids outside (we were eating breakfast) in time for us to see it fly right over our house.
This is not my picture. We had put our cameras away when we thought we missed it. I had to steal this photo off the internet but it was just as clear and close to us right over our house. The one time in the history of ever that I was happy to live along the flight path.
Thank you facebook friends for letting me know about it, and thank you even more for having a picture that I commandeered.
