Our Visit To Nasa Space Center



















Since suggesting going to the pool everyday on Ricky's day off doesn't excite him, he suggested we go to Nasa. No one in our family has been. So it was a new experience for all of us. The kids were excited to go, plus they had a Star Wars Feature as an added bonus.
Everyone had a great time. Lil Ricky loved playing in the kids area!! He literally had to be pulled away from it. Big Ricky loved learning and exploring all the space artifacts. I think he read everything on the walls!! It was amazing seeing the actual size of the rocket. Especially the engines. It is unbelievable how big each engine is and they need 5 for each rocket!!!!!
At one of the shows we saw, Lil Ricky volunteered and got to walk us through a day of an astronauts daily routine. So proud of him for not having stage freight. I on the other hand. Me on the other hand in these situations, am in the back curled under my seat praying I don't get picked.
It is amazing what humans can do. Astronauts have to be super brave. Just the thought of going into the unknown. Where it's dark and endless and one small move and help is 1,000s of miles away. Definitely not for me.
It was a great day trip!!
