Astronauts

This was a pretty cool happening yesterday. While at the beach flying kites with some friends and I were flying kites. Then a couple women walked up and wanted to know what we were doing. We talked for a minute and it turns out they were taking a break from the Space Center and spending the day at the beach. The woman on the left is Alan Sheppard's (1st American in space) daughter. I went out into the water kitesurfing and I could hear them cheering me on out in the waves. Pretty cool. Got invited to the Space Center next spring to meet some astronauts as well. Fun times.
