Mother's Day

Last weekend we traveled down to Florida to visit Mom and watch the launch of the space shuttle Endeavour.  We flew down to Jacksonville early Wednesday afternoon, just ahead of the terrible storms that devastated so much of central Alabama.  We had quite a wind storm early Wednesday morning but nothing to compare to what happened in Tuscaloosa and other areas in central Alabama.  

Thursday we (Mom, Sonia and me) went to the Alligator Farm in Saint Augustine.  We had a great time looking at the alligators, crocodiles, birds, turtles and more.  There are lots of pictures on my web site at http://demellier.com/gallery3/index.php/Alligator-Farm.

Then Friday we headed down to Titusville to watch the shuttle launch.  We got there plenty early in order to get a good seat with a view across the water to the launch pad.  Of course the launch was delayed and we went back to Mom's place without seeing anything spectacular.
