I stumbled across a great little graphic on nasa.gov this evening which shows the entire timeline of STS-130. But here is my very simplified version:
Day 1 - Launch
Day 2 - Heat Shield Inspection
Day 3 - Backflip and Docking to the ISS
Day 4 - Preparation for 1st Spacewalk
Day 5 - 1st Spacewalk to attach Tranquility
Day 6 - Open hatches on Tranquility and Cupola
Day 7 - 2nd Spacewalk
Day 8 - Cupola moved
Day 9 - Cupola outfitted
Day 10- 3rd Spacewalk
Day 11- Joint News Conference with both crews
Day 12- Undocking and Fly Around
Day 13- Preparation for Landing
Day 14- Landing
All 14 days are packed and the crew actually has very little free time on a mission to just stop and look around or take pictures. My guess is that it will all just fly by for them.
