It was a beautiful day Monday on Canaveral National Seashore, just about 23 miles from the final launch of Endeavour. As the space shuttle program winds down, this family from Alaska was happy to see it. The mission included Commander Mark Kelly, the husband of injured Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.

As big fans of the shuttle program, and as a former mission commander from space camp (Meggan), it was awesome to see Endeavour go up for the last time. Endeavour, we’ll see you next at the California Science Center. Until then, bon voyage.
