Saturday, June 16th was spent at the Boeing Museum of Flight. This is something we have done for Father's Day for many years. This year the museum had a space exhibit that was really cool!! I have always loved following the space program. I suppose I have my Dad to thank for that. We used to always watch whatever we could on TV..I remember Apollo 11's landing on the moon, but I don't remember the Apollo 13 drama. I remember when the first shuttle landed back on earth. I was working for Boeing at the time in their bank services division and there was a whole lot of us crammed into an office watching the landing on a small tv. When the Challenger exploded, I was glued to the tv all day. I don't even remember what this picture is. I remember thinking from the back it kind of looked like the death star from Star Wars! :)
This is a picture of the Mars rover. A childhood friend of mine worked on this project at JPL (Jet Propulsion Lab). It's kind of cool to say....I know him!!
Here is Reg trying to land the shuttle in the simulator..He was 50%..
My wonderful family..Kathryn, Levi, Albert & Eliza
Linda and Linda!!
Reg and most of his kids! We we really missed Emily. Hopefully she and her family will be around next year. We need to introduce Anthony and Tillie to this tradition.
It was a wonderful time!
