Our family and the Andersons headed to Houston's Space Center Museum today.
We took a cool tour of the Space Shuttle. OK, it was actually a replica of the Space Shuttle . . .
. . . but the special 747 that ferried the shuttles across the country between launches was the real deal . . .
. . . and it had some fun, interactive displays. In this one, three people work together to get a model of the Shuttle situated on the 747.
Daddy only took one picture during our entire visit. Of course, it was of the Shuttle's really complex control panel. That's our Engineer Daddy. Actually, maybe he was thinking of Todd, who loves to push buttons.
Since I'm a historian and a geek, I loved learning about NASA's various missions through the years, and how scientists figured out solutions to varied (and sometimes unexpected) problems.
Todd's favorite part of the museum was the elevator. He and I must have ridden it up and down at least a dozen times.
Before long, he had all the other kids along for the ride, too.
Coincidentally, after spending the afternoon learning about real space adventures, Phillip and I went on a date to see the latest Star Wars installment, "Rogue One." Thanks to the Andersons for watching our kidlets!!
