Space Center

Leave it to us to pick the hottest day of the year to do this...but today we ventured down to the Space Coast to visit the Kennedy Space Center. 

We stopped on the way and checked into our motel room, unloaded our luggage, and then went to spend the day touring. 

We watched both Imax movies and also took the 3 hour bus tour.  The biggest disappointment was that the best show at the Saturn V Rocket Center was closed for refurbishment.  The biggest plus, the shuttle was on the launch pad for viewing. The biggest shock was that mom went on the new motion simulator ride with us!

After we were all good and sweaty we decided to make a swing by the gift shop before leaving.  Zack got his picture taken with an astronaut. 

We went to Cracker Barrel for dinner. Yummy.  And then I took Zack down to the pool so he could swim.  I'm surprised he actually got in seeing as there was a huge worm (almost snake looking)creature at the bottom of the pool. Trust me, it was creepy - but also probably dead. 

After a shower and we were ready for bed Zack started complaining of an ear ache - wonderful!
