Wordless Wednesday: Kennedy Space Center

Having a "blast" in Orlando! We're here for our daughter's college orientation. We arrived a few days early so we could play tourist. I even rode on a shuttle blast off simulation ride. For someone who hates motion and likes to keep her feet on the ground, this was big!

Here are some vacation pics.

    Great pics! Good luck and best wishes for your daughter. My son went to USF. We would visit the KSC while in FL visiting him. It's amazing. This week I posted a pic from the Atlantis shuttle and a video from the launch.

    The best place on earth! I guess you were a little late to stowaway on the last shuttle, but maybe there's a rocket you could take. . .

    Hi Joyce,

    I have a daughter who goes to school in Florida too! We go to Orlando with our 11 year old when we go to visit her. Unfortunately for us....Disney seems to get all the attention!

    Sounds like fun! I guess I haven't been to Central Florida in about 30 years. Maybe it's time to go back.

    Thanks to all for the comments. We just got home today and I have a lot of catching up to do on my blog reading. I never got to see the final launch, or any launch for that matter, which is sad. I'm glad we got to see the space center, but if I knew then what I know now, I would have spent the day at the beach and gone sometime in the next four years. That place is expensive, and we now can get $20 off each ticket with our daughter's UCF ID.
