T-14 hours until liftoff

Thanks to everyone for the warm goodbyes today.  While very sad, and many tears were shed..over and over, it is very heartwarming to have friends and family who care so much.

Thanks to Mia's friends who were able to join us for a departing Vermonster at Ben and Jerry's.  We think Mia's been looking for an excuse to gorge on that much ice cream for years and this provided the perfect opportunity.  Everyone really enjoyed it whether they ended up wearing the ice cream on their faces or not!
