From Florida Today this story:

Today at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida: U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, the wife of Endeavour commander Mark Kelly, has arrived at Kennedy Space Center to watch Monday morning’s launch, her staff has reported.

“Gabrielle landed safely in Florida. Smooth flight with STS 134 astronaut Greg Johnson’s family,” read the post on the Arizona congresswoman’s Facebook page, which includes a dramatic aerial photo of Endeavour on its pad (left). “Thanks to NASA for great fly by of launch pad.”

“Glad to have you here,” KSC staff said via Twitter.
