Our trip to NASA Ames Research Center!!
We all played hooky and visited NASA's Ames Research Center in order to witness the flyover of the Endeavour Space Shuttle as it was ferried to Los Angeles atop a 747. Although the event itself was brief, it was impressive, and the facility itself had plenty of interesting handouts and exhibits on the contributions made at the Ames Research Center and information on other NASA programs.
Emmett was asked to pose for photographs several times...
and Emmett enjoyed visiting the museum on site,
making sure to point out a few Mars facts to the museum guide.

developed at Ames Research Center
At last, the moment finally came for the flyover...
Emmett had a great vantage point, and really enjoyed the event.
And so, with a mixture of joy and sadness, we bid "Adieu!" to the Space Shuttle...
