This was a busy day. We visited the Kennedy Space Centre at Cape Canaveral during the day, and then met up with Corinne and Luke in Orlando for dinner, they went to Disney World that week.
The space centre was a little Disney-fied with it's outside spacey music and concrete. The imax 3D movie about the Space Station and how the astronauts live in 0 gravity was great fun!
The simulated rocket lauch experience? Well, it was fancy but basically your seat gets tipped back and then they shake you all around so you can feel your jowels. Oh well.
The bus tour that shows you the launch sites and NASA buildings was tedious for the kids, and Kevin, (ok, and me) except for seeing gators in the canals by the roads! We saw the launch sites which was a great topper to seeing the Endeavor take off the week before. We watched it from Orlando so it was a bit tiny, but we did see it and we saw it's rockets detatch. Thanks to Grant for reminding us to look for it!
Dinner was a good time. Thanks Corinne and Luke, always nice to see you. The kids love the chance to be extra silly (I think the giant coca-colas helped, yikes!).
