Taking Off!

Hi everyone, Katie here.  Well, today's the day!  Today, Me, Waffles Too and the rest of Tribe Atherton blasted off into outer space.  We had time for a quick group photo of me with Griffin and Hansel right before the engines started:

Already this is an exciting trip! My days of being cooped up on the planet are over!  We are currently orbiting the Earth, and I'm pretty sure I saw the townhouse-- I didn't have a lot of time for goodbyes this morning, so Glogirly, I hope you saw me wave from the space shuttle.  We should be rendezvousing with Paco by tomorrow night, if we stay on course.  

Waffles Too is currently in the back with Isabel, our IT Specialist, and Simon.  I'm worried about the W2-Simon pairing, frankly.  Simon seems like a trouble maker, and W2 CERTAINLY doesn't need help with that!  

Well, that's all for now.  Here's a picture of the view out my window.  I like it here.  :)
