Ok, lets get down to business. Our last month in Texas was a busy one. We still had some things we wanted to see and I was working....a lot! You just gotta grab OT when you get the chance. We planned a trip to Houston to visit the Johnson Space Center. David was like a little boy again! It was amazing to see some of the things in person.
You can see the little boy's excitement! |
Gene Kranz and one of his famous vest. |
Gave me chills just looking at this. |
The inside of a one person capsule thingy. David realized he could never have been an astronaut...he is too tall. Most of the things we saw were so small on the inside. |
The space suits are so cool! This was in the International Space Center area. These are the suits that they use when testing different situations. |
Check out the unusual "moon exploration" vehicles. Sure a big difference from the one many years ago. |
This is a Saturn V rocket. It was amazing to see the 3 stages and just how huge this thing is. Amazed that it could get off the ground much less fly through space. |
The next day we took a little drive over to Kemah Texas in the Galveston Bay. We ended up at the Kemah Boardwalk. It is a nice little area for shopping, amusement rides and eating.

I have never seen so many catfish!! |
Beautiful boardwalk. It was a pretty day and not crowded at all. I'm sure in the summer it is a crazy mad house. |
As David said "this is a happy travel nurse!" |
Trouble makers! |
"Life is like a box of chocolates..." We had some good food at Bubba Gump. |
Time for a coffee refill and gather my thoughts on my next post.
