OUR DAY TO HEAD TO NASA BUT FIRST A BREAKFAST TREAT.
SO MANY CHOICES AND A DECISION NEEDS TO BE MADE!
KRISPY KREME FOR A SUGAR BOOST!
WE DROVE ABOUT AN HOUR EAST OF WHERE WE WERE STAYING TO
DO A TOUR OF NASA.
IT WAS A VERY EDUCATIONAL AND ENJOYABLE DAY!
WE DID A GUIDED TOUR OF THE OUTDOOR MUSEUM.
WE BOARDED A TOUR BUS AND HEADED OUT TO THE
LAUNCH AREA WHICH IS NOT BEING USED MUCH THESE DAYS.
THE CRAWLER USED TO TRANSPORT THE SHUTTLES TO THE
LAUNCH SITE. THE ATLANTIS MADE THIS TRIP SEVERAL TIMES.
THE BUILDING WHERE THE SHUTTLES ARE ASSEMBLED.
AND THERE IS SWAMP AREA AROUND.
WE SPOTTED AN ALLIGATOR WHILE ON THE BUS.
THE MUSEUM WE WERE DROPPED OFF AT. WE COULD SPEND
AS MUCH TIME HERE AS WE LIKED BEFORE CATCHING ANOTHER
BUS BACK TO THE MAIN NASA AREA.
AMAZING REPLICAS AND INFORMATION ABOUT THE SPACE PROGRAM.
THE MOON BUGGY - AND YES, THOSE ARE LAWN CHAIRS THEY SAT IN!
A SPECIAL PRESENTATION OF A MOON WALK.
AND A LOOK AT EARTH FROM THE MOON!
THEN ON TO THE ATLANTIS EXHIBIT.
THE REVEAL!
OUR CREW IN FRONT OF THE PAYLOAD DOORS.
A BATTERED SHUTTLE BUT IT MADE IT BACK TO EARTH
SAFELY NUMEROUS TIMES.
THE CANADA ARM.
A REPLICA OF THE ATLANTIS AT LAUNCH TIME
AND THE ROCKET BOOSTERS IN ACTUAL SIZE.
CLOSING TIME AND AFTER A FINAL IMAX SHOW FOR MJJDM,
IT WAS TIME TO HEAD OUT.
A VIEW OF THE ATLANTIC OCEAN
TIME FOR SUPPER AND HOME!
A FULL DAY!
