The final shuttle launch was today...Atlantis blasted off into space a few minutes later than expected. But what a view...
I have seen the shuttle "blast off" so many times.......I remember, like it was yesterday, where I was when the Challenger exploded. And I also remember Columbia...my dad called me to tell me that the shuttle had "disappeared." It's part of my childhood...it's part of history...and I had to take my children to go see the "last one." I don't think they'll remember it but I have the pictures. : )
It was bittersweet watching the last shuttle go up...but oh so amazing! And then a few minutes after blast off, you hear the rumble! That is the most impressive part...I love it!!
Here are a few pictures of Atlantis going up, one more time.
Patiently waiting...while eating some berries. YUM!
Patiently waiting for the shuttle to go up....
Still waiting...
There it goes!! 
GO ATLANTIS GO!!!!
And there it goes...into the clouds!
