VIEWING THE SPACE SHUTTLE "ENDEAVOR" AT THE LA SCIENCE CENTER 6-22-2013


The Science Center exterior.














Me using my new "roll-around" for the first time which really paid off on this adventure for both David and I.  We rented a car and drove here vs public transpo.

    This is very cool bro!! You had told me about this trip but this is the first pics. It will be very cool once they provide further access to the interior of the shuttle if ...if they do! We'll have to put this on a must see list next time I make it out :)
