One Month Ago Today, sts135, nasatweetup

I woke up at 1:30 in the morning, and was at the La Quinta Daytona at 2:30 am.


I drove myself and 4 new friends 80 miles south, and hung out in a parking lot for a little while, RAVE NASATweetup style.

Then drove onto Kennedy Space Center, and saw this:

and this:

and this IMG_5772
and this

Then I hung out with these people
STS-135 Tweetup
and watched this

while we prayed for the clouds to part.
I visited

and

and

and then finally after all of that wait, this happened...

And then I did a little bit of this

and some hanging out with these people:

And then after 17 hours I drove back to Daytona with these people

And you know what? If they asked me today to go back and do it all again tomorrow? I would be there in less than 8 hours.

Thank you NASA, NASATWEETUP, STS-135 for all of the wonderful memories.
