So, the trip to see the shuttle launch was really amazing - but it was one heck of a whirlwind trip. No matter how you do it, it's about 9 hours of flying, with some layover in there just for fun. Steve and I had remarked all day that we were surprised it wasn't any more crowded to watch the shuttle... and then we tried to leave Cape Canaveral. The launch was at 4:50 and we got to a hotel in Orlando at about 1:15 am. We then got up at 4:45 the next morning, and started flying. Needless to say, Friday was a sleep day.
Saturday was a wake up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed day, and it was so pretty we decided to take a good hike in Red Rock. Amazing day for it. It was in the 50s on the strip, so we headed out in jeans, flannel, and sweatshirts and light jackets. By the time we got to the canyon, the wind had picked up and was absolutely howling. There was also a huge snow squall up in the mountains. Not wanting to get caught too far out on the trails, we decided to stay fairly close, but do a lot of rock scrambling.
