People have been out in lawn chairs all morning all over the city waiting for the fly-by of the Space Shuttle Endeavor coming from San Francisco (Katie?). I was driving back to Pasadena from the LAX area and as I came up the Pasadena freeway (the oldest freeway in the world) through downtown LA I caught a glimpse just after it buzzed L.A. City Hall. Following it's swing over to the Griffith Observatory and Getty Center and Hollywood sign it came back and flew over Pasadena, just as I was coming up Orange Grove and Walnut and I saw it swing north up toward JPL.
Mom was waiting with the camera in Monrovia as we thought perhaps it would pass by JPL going east and head down to Disneyland. But, alas, it did the JPL fly-by coming from the south/east so Mom missed it. But it was fun to listen to the radio all morning about it's approach and flyover.

Thanks to Jon Cornwall's video that he took (that smart boy) from Great Grandpa Cornwall's back yard looking out toward JPL.
I was dangling off the balcony in our room to catch a view. I caught a glimpse as it turned south in Alta Dena. Quite an amazing site. I guess I can add the Science Museum to "What do to when we have company" list.
