Orlando Day 7

Kennedy Space Center (and we didn't get lost, er misplaced, this time!)

What an amazing place.  We needed 2 days to do everything, but did our best to get the important stuff in.

The Boss had planned in a behind the scenes tour and it was so worth it.  I finally got to see a wild gator and we drove past a couple of manatees but I didn't see them from where I was sitting on the bus.

To be around all of that history was amazing and what was even more amazing is how they are taking the past, tweaking it and working towards the future.
Yes, some of the launch pads from the past will not be usable in the future, the space is still being used as a wildlife sanctuary. We even saw 2 bald eagle nests and there was an eagle near the smaller one.

Definitely a second trip some day, as we missed out on the IMAX theater, The Astronaut Hall of Fame and this little gem I really wish we could have stopped by and visited:
The day went by way too fast and I'm not sure I can express just how amazing it was.  Maybe another day I can sit down and share more thoughts, but the big one I have is that go if you can.

Be Happy! Be Healthy! Be sure to respect the past and look forward to the future!

ps I did manage to find some goodies for the kiddos in the process, maybe even one for the Boss...sssshhh!
