On Tuesday, we all went to the Kennedy Space Center. It was a little windy.
I had to keep a hold of Aeris, lest she blow away!
We took the shuttle ride to LC 39, the Rocket Launch Site. That's where it was so windy. Then we took the shuttle to the Apollo/Saturn V Center where we saw the full size Saturn V. It was amazingly HUGE!
We ran out of time for the 3rd stop on the shuttle tour, the International Space Station Center. So we headed back and rode the Shuttle Launch Experience. It was bumpy but I'm sure I could hack it as an astronaut, just have to do a total career change :).
And Jacob was having fun with our new camera and got some good pictures of the Rocket Garden during the "golden hour of light", right as the sun is going down.
And here is Aeris taking a pretend nap which was as close as she got to a real nap that day. We forgot her pacifier which made for a somewhat difficult day. She didn't even fall asleep on the way home and had some very interesting conversations with her Aunt McKenzie in her effort to stay awake. It's gonna be rough when she has to give up her "passi" at the ripe old age of three.
It was a great day and I highly recommend the Kennedy Space Center. It helps you truly appreciate how amazing it is that we've gotten into space and how much effort it takes. And if you go in March and are a FL resident, you can get one kid in free per adult. :)
I am so glad you had an awesome time with the fam-Lucky!!! You look great Melinda! Aeris is so cute with her "nap". We also got rid of Lincoln's passi at 3. We reminded him for a few months before his b-day and then when the day came he did it. And I told him when he is 22 he can have it back, so he regularly talks about how excited he is to be 22 and asks how far away that is. :)
ReplyDeleteThose are some awesome pictures. Looks like everyone had a great time! It's probably a good thing Aeris didn't have a real nap or she'd have those sweet indentations on her cheek from the bench :) I hate it when that happens! ha :) Anyway, good luck with the passi thing, hopefully she doesn't go through any withdrawals.
ReplyDeleteMelinda and Jacob,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the awesome time we had in Florida. I am so glad for pictures to relive the adventures, but it makes me sad it is over so soon. We love you.
