This summer, Andy and I decided to change our usual summer vacation plans. Instead of flying, we decided to drive. We decided that the kids should see more of the U.S. than just airports. The past couple of years, we have flown into Chicago and driven to Columbus. This year, we left on a Saturday morning and made a few planned stops along the way. I've decided to break the stops up into individual postings.
First stop - Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral.
Our first day of the long car trip was a short 2 1/2 hour drive. We got there around 11:30 a.m. I haven't been there in a long time and Andy had never been there so this was like the first visit for all of us. Andy and I had a great time. It was very interesting. The size of the shuttles, rockets, machines, etc. are amazing. It's amazing that they can send things that big up into space! Andy got a little more time to peruse some of it as I was chasing the kids.
The next morning, I had the 3 kids at breakfast. Zack mentions that he wants to be something different when he grows up. I expected him to say astronaut or something space related. Not on the same page. After hearing his future career plan (police officer), I tell the kids that I'm surprised that no one was inspired to do something space related. Ben's response was very funny. "Why? In a few years, it will be like getting on a bus."
Here are some pics from Kennedy Space Center:
