My husband and I met on the Frying Pan Road overpass -- huge crowd. Had a hard time getting there. Cars parked everywhere along the highways. Crowd was cheering. Discovery made one pass -- so close you felt you could almost touch it. Then we saw it loop around to the south and eventually come in for its landing. Wish I had taken my kids out of school...

BTW, we love Udvar Hazy. Wonderful museum.
