Busy Week!

Man, I sure am glad it's Friday. Both Melissa and I had long hard weeks at work. Melissa was working on the week-long Flight Operations Review (FOR) meeting for her lead ISS mission, flight 10A. I was working on teaching 2 classes, certifying to teach in a new one and prepare for two simulations that I had to run today back to back! I worked 6-6 today. Melissa took off work today to be with Luke because his daycare was closed for good Friday. While we do appreciate the significance of Good Friday and said our prayers accordingly, most businesses do not give their employees this day off anymore, so why a daycare would be closed is beyond me...

Last weekend we did take the weekend and went camping in the camper. We went to Goliad State Park about 3 hours south of Houston. The campground was nice, but the whole park was smaller than most of the SPs we've been to in Texas and there wasn't as much to do. Oh well, a day spent camping is better than one at work or just sitting at home! Here's some pics.
