I got up early this morning, accomplished a few chores, Rod accomplished several, showered dressed and enjoyed the beautiful day. We were so excited about going to Titusville this evening for dinner and watch the missile launch from Vapr Canaveral!!! Timing was perfect!!! We all left about 3:30pm made the 50 minute drive to Titusville and had dinner at a locals place called New York New York. Ordered our favorite appetizer Fried Gizzards!! I know sounds yucky but they are delicious!!! Ha Paula and I shared a HUGH 1/2 lb hamburger with home made potato chips!! Wow!!so good!!, finished supper just in time to walk outside get set up with our Binoculars and camera. We were so excited and so was about 100 other people standing on the banks of the waterway there at the restaurant, to see the missile take off!!! Count down 15secs to liftoff "SCRUFFED" (that means cancelled) Such disappointment!!!! The news said there was a helium leak!!! Maybe tomorrow but we will again have to watch from our boat at Sanford about 40 miles away!!! We were all sad, to again, not get to see a launching from close up!!
Oh well, maybe next year!!! Home now, jammies on and resting up for the final day here tomorrow. Few more last minute chores and of course a grocery day to stock up for our next leg of our journey!!! We will miss out dear friends as we will not see them again until late summer or fall.
Much love to all, Fran and Capn Rod
Here is the only pic I took !!! Falcon 9 Ready for liftoff!!! So disapointed !!!!
