NASA

Jason and I finished up our trip to Orlando by going to the NASA space center. Kenny had to stay and work for another 5 days after we left.

Kenny and Jason with a guy in full space gear. Sorry I forgot to flip the picture before I uploaded it.

Kenny, Jason, and I.

Me standing in front of one of the rings that holds the full ship together.

Jason is sitting on a claw that is part of the track for the machine that takes the space ships out to the launch pads.

We were all blown away at how large these are! It was amazing to see in person.

Look how big this engine is and how many little details go into making one. This is where all the gasses are combined and ignited to make the rocket take off.

The tour guide told us that each star on the flag that is painted on the outside of this building is 6 feet from one point to the other. Just to give you an idea on how tall this building is. This is where they attach the tanks to the rocket before they launch them into space.

You found us!

Looks like so much fun. You are such a trooper walking around and traveling while pregnant. I was such a baby.

Such cute pictures.
