Okay, we knew there would be things we forgot to mention. Here's a biggie - while still at Sun N Fun, we arose really, really early on April 5th to see the fireball in the sky - the Space Shuttle Discovery taking off for its trip to the International Space Station. We actually saw the Space Station pass overhead (looked like a giant dragonfly in the sky).
After our season at Sun N Fun RV Resort ended in mid-April we headed to our sister park, Tropical Palms, in Kissimmee, FL for a couple of days of R&R on our way back to Georgia. The shuttle landing had been delayed due to weather which made the timing coincide with our trip to Kissimmee. Although we could not see the shuttle, we did hear the double sonic boom it made on re-entry into the earth's atmosphere. Since there are so few shuttle missions left, we felt very honored to have witnessed the exit and entry of this mission. Go NASA!
