Our Summer Vacation

This summer our family went on vacation to Florida. We toured NASA, went to Universal Studios, and stayed at the Nickelodeon hotel. I'm going to have to break up the posts so I can fit all of the pictures in. The first thing we did was go to NASA and take a tour. The very last shuttle launch was happening that week so we were hoping to get a closer glimpse of the shuttle before it was retired. There are quite a few pictures so I put them into a slide show because I couldn't decide which ones to take out. Unfortunately we didn't get as close to the shuttle as we would have liked. AND when we did take the tour to see it (and get as close as anyone can get who doesn't work there) they were servicing it so the "arm" of the launch pad (or whatever that is called) was open and covering most of it up. You will see from the picture we only really got to see the tip top of it (from far away - did I mention that we didn't get very close to it?). Anyways, it was really neat to see all of it. Jason especially enjoyed it. He is a very big space enthusiast. It was extremely hot the entire time we were in Florida and this was no exception. Here are the pictures I took that day....
