Dad had the fantastic idea to go to the Space Coast and watch the space shuttle Discovery launch. (My aunt/god-mother Kate is visiting by the way and we're gonna be doing some serious adventuring over the next few days, so be sure to stay tuned). OK so we went to Titusville and ate some delicious sea food and then explored onward to Space View Park. Space View Park lines up precisely to the view of Kennedy Space Center, which is on a causeway 12 miles off the coast. There are monuments along the way dedicated to astronauts and I measured my hand prints to theirs, and those astronaut hand prints sure seemed small! Five minutes after sunset, the space shuttle Discovery launched high into the sky and Dad and I watched from the lawn. I sat wide-eyed taking it all in; People say that's a once in a lifetime thing. I'm a very lucky little guy.

You certainly are a lucky guy, living so close to the space center. You got to see the very last night time launch. And, the last launch of that particular shuttle. We actually watched it take off too, from Jakey's front yard. It was really neat and Jakey's nanny took pictures too. I think the space shuttles are really pretty when they take off. I'm very glad you got to see it. I'm also looking to hearing all about your new adventures with your Mommy and Aunt Kate. Have a good time.
