knew before we got there that the tour of the KSC was both expensive and long, but we went anyway to see if there was an a la carte approach. Alas, there was not, so we backtracked a few miles to the US Astronaut Museum. Cheaper and more self-guided. It was still too much for Mathew to absorb--and I'll say not truly friendly to a 4 1/2 year old--but a great time and great exhibits was had by all. There were two rides: one a G-Force simulator and the other a Mars Rover simulator. Both incredibly nauseating, but very exciting. Now we know what it is like to drop out of the sky at 10,000 ft in a stalled fighter jet. Anyway, we took some great pictures and learned a lot about the early days of the US space program. After lunch and a little exercise, we headed on down I-95 for Pompano Beach and Mathew's grandparent's place. We'll be there for a few days and then on to Sanibel Island.
We're also going to stop at the Houston Space Center for a little more NASA. I am sure we may have a future astronaut on our hands.Start: Titusville, FL, 56 F
