Neal's U2 trip to England

In January, we went up to see Neal suit up for a 12 hour flight from Beale AFB straight to England.  I try not to imagine Neal sitting in that tiny cockpit at the edge of the atmosphere for a very very VERY long period of time, but seeing him suit up made it very real for me.  My husband is AWESOME! He does something really cool and REALLY SCARY, in my opinion.  My kids thought so too.  Lucy wasn't sure WHAT to think!  Obviously he made it there safe and sound.  Neal also ran to some really cool ruins while he was in England for a few days.

The welcoming Party!  Happy to see Neal! :)
