On the Waterfront, A Space Shuttle

Instead of telling Toddler Paddler "hey look, it's New York City", I now ask "do you see the Space Shuttle?" The Space Shuttle Enterprise made its way up the Hudson to its new home on the deck of the Intrepid Air Craft Carrier turned Air and Space Museum.  Although this shuttle never flew in space, (it was used for landing tests in the 70's),  the Enterprise did have a big influence on the overall design of the Space Shuttle and the STS program.  Below are a few pics from its sail up the Hudson and a paddle I had last weekend.
