Space Shuttle Atlantis Landing

Michelle and I took Katie down to Edwards AFB hoping the shuttle would land there since the weather looked bad in FL for today and tomorrow. We found a place not too far from the flight line on a little hill that gave us a great view. We got there about 25 minutes early and the orbiter had already completed it's de-orbit burn so it was officially coming to Edwards. We saw it fly over head, heard the double sonic boom, then saw it come in for landing. After the landing, we stopped by a nearby outdoor AFB museum that had an SR-71, which is Michelle's favorite airplane.
