Houston - NASA





































Can you believe it - 8 and a half hours at NASA today! It is a good thing we got plenty of sleep last night because those astronauts sure kept us busy. We met a nice lady first thing walking into NASA that gave us the low down on what to see and when - it was perfect! We started with a tram ride to see the astronaut training facility and rocket park. All I can say is WOW, the rockets, the space station simulation - all of it is huge. It is amazing. We went and played on some equipment and then off to learn what it takes to work on the space station and how to become an astronaut. It is a good thing that Aunt Amy's suitcase wasn't in the car, she might have stayed to realize her lifelong dream of becoming an astronaut!













Katie was thrilled that we were able to watch the live liftoff of the Russian spaceship that was headed towards the international space station.
