Today was a great day! Colton and I got to go to the Johnson Space Center in Houston ("Houston, we have a problem..") Anyway, it was really neat! We got to tour the building where the astronauts train with all the actual size training modules. They had the real sized space shuttle, most of the living areas of the space station, and some of the new moon rovers that will be the next vehicles to drive on the moon - the "chariots". We got to drive around the entire facility and see rockets, etc. The inside of the museum part was a kid's DREAM. The biggest play center I've ever seen. All kinds of little things to stand in line and wait to do with a bazillion other kids (ha! spell check didn't check me on bazillion!) There was also alot of information that was just cool to know. We got to see two movies on the big screens. One was of a blast off and even shot out smoke at us! Colton had a ball and was VERY tired when we got back, but perked up just in time to hit the beach for a short swim. Tomorrow is our last full day here, so we have only a few things planned and time to get back to take one last swim in the ocean. LOTS of pictures on the dotphoto site!
