We decided to head to Boiling AFB to see the fly over, since it was going to be passing over top the Potomac River. We got there just in time. As soon as we got to the side walk, we could see the 747 approaching.
What an incredibly view to see. It's something I know, I will never forget.
I was busy taking pictures, so I finally handed the camera to Courtney, so I could take it all in. Beyond breath taking!! I know McKaila is too young to remember such a thing, but I'm glad we got pictures to show her. Everytime it flew by, she was pointing at it and very excited to see it flying in front of us, so that was great to see!!
Watching Discovery go by!!
A few fun facts of the Discovery
*longest-serving orbiter in NASA's shuttle fleet

missions
*spent 365 days in space
*orbited the Earth 5,830 times

Not the greatest picture, but oh well, still pretty cool
McKaila and Grandpa staying warm. It was very windy!!!
Thankfully, they did a fly by about 3 different times. They flew directly in front of us a couple times, but other then that, the 747 circled in front of us. What a site to see, that is for sure!!!
