Texas Trip Day 5

Friday, we grabbed the kiddos,

and headed to NASA!!!

 

We took the Blue Tour,

and saw Mission Control (restored to it's former glory)!

Took a look around the campus. Look at how huge that garage door is!

Said "Hello!" to the long horns on the side of the road.

Made a stop at Rocket Park.

 

Saw an original Saturn V rocket! The re-entry pod still had the burn and scorch marks. Cool.

Took pictures with the astronauts from the Apollo missions.

Had a moment of silence, for those who lost their lives, at the memorial grove.

It was amazing! It was a special experience walking by the wall honoring the Apollo missions.

Then, she had to try on the space suit.

So did he!

Preparing for launch!

NASA was pretty cool!

We drove over to see the ocean, since we were so close.

In the evening, we went on a walk around the neighborhood with Jay and Shauna. The houses are beautiful! Some of them still use kerosene in the lamps in front of the house (not pictured).

It was a fun day with the kids, things were learned, awe was felt, and it ended in a relaxing and enjoyable way.
