Endeavour's Return Home
September 21, 2012
Welcome home Endeavour. This was the first time I ever saw a shuttle in person, so for me it was a very special day. It was a hot and uncomfortable day down at JPL. The traffic was terrible had to wait an hour just to be able to leave, but it was worth it. Quite a thrill for me. Even just putting the images together again gives me goosebumps. :)
The 2 images directly below are ones that JPL posted and this is what I saw that day too, those are the San Gabriel Mountains in the background and that is JPL right below it. My mountains. :)
Today I was proud to live in Los Angeles and call it home.
She will be leaving her temporary home at LAX at the end of October to make her way to her new home at the California Science Center. She landed yesterday and spent the night in the Desert and today was her final flight over Southern California. I will post pics as she makes her way to her new home, from the news when they come.

Over JPL. These are not my pics but this is where I was and what I saw personally
Over Disneyland, that is the Matterhorn below it.
Over Griffith Observatory, you can see the Observatory below it. Even Godzilla had to come out for a photo op.
Over the Hollywood Sign, which is just right over the dirt path a piece from Griffith Observatory
Over the Los Angeles skyline
The Walt Disney Concert Hall & Hollywood Sign
Somewhere over the 110 Freeway. I would say near LAX, though I could be wrong.
Over Malibu
Northern California. One of the Bay Bridges though I am not sure which one
Not sure at all where this one is from. Somewhere in Southern California though
Here is what it looked like when Endeavour was rolling through the streets of LA, I got all these images from ABC News
