Take Off! July 27, 2008

On Sunday morning everyone made it to the airport all right, and we were happy to find out United Airlines had arranged a special area for us to check in and gather as a group. After our campers said goodbye to their parents, Michael Jackson from United took us through the entire process of checking in and going through security, so everything went very smoothly. The campers were so excited to get on their way!

We arrived on time to Washington Dulles airport and took a shuttle to meet our connecting flight on the other end of the airport. Unfortunately, due to mechanical problems and the weather, the flight was delayed for more than 2 hours. The campers were great though, and they handled the delay with patience, playing with their VTech games, talking, or sleeping in the airport.

We arrived to Alabama slightly behind schedule, but we had enough time to check-in to Space Camp and tour the facility. The campers went off to their habitats for the night, very tired but excited to start their week. There are some great things in store for them yet!
