Why, it's the space shuttle Endeavour making it's way to the California Science Center, which will serve as its retirement home! (Notice the two fighter jets escorting Endeavour and the Boeing 747 on which Endeavour is piggybacked.)

As part of it's grand entry into Los Angeles, California, it performed a flyby over the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Not being JPL employees, Charlotte and Max didn't get this fantastic view of the shuttle. But they saw the "biiig plane" as it flew past our neighborhood. And Jenn saw the shuttle from Los Angeles, too.

And there it goes ... flying off to its United Airlines hangar (thanks, Angie!) at the Los Angeles International Airport. The next time we see it -- and we'll have to go at some point, it'll be down in Los Angeles (conveniently located right off I-110).

Speaking of flying, I neglected to post these pictures of Max from our trip to Seattle, Washington (well, our return trip, specifically).

As we boarded, Max was invited to sit in the cockpit.

With all of those buttons all around him, I can only imagine that Max must have thought he'd died and gone to heaven!

Unfortunately, Charlotte wasn't extended the same courtesy; plane corridors are narrow, and we had to take our seats. But we'll have to make sure that she gets to be the co-pilot, if only for a few minutes, on our next plane flight.
