Trip to See the Endeavour

Eric took Thursday and Friday off of work since his birthday was on Saturday. We decided to head south to take advantage of the warm temperatures and spend some time in L.A. and Oceanside. The first day we went to the California Science Center to see the Endeavour. It was so. cool. I remember back in 2012, not long after moving here, that we saw the space shuttle fly by on the back of the Boeing airplane, so that made this a little more special. Anyway, it is such an amazing vehicle.

The lady in this picture was an astronaut that is now stationed on Vandenberg AFB with Eric. When she comes into the dental clinic, it's a big deal. Only the boss can work on her, rightfully so. She's the celebrity of the base.
